Peter Yan, former UFC flyweight champion, has confirmed his willingness to fight former promotion title challenger Marlon Vera in November.
"Do I want to fight Marlon Vera? Yes, I'll be ready for November. Of course I'm going to do it. I'll take him to a mixed martial arts school. You saw how Song Yadong showed his best boxing, but it didn't go according to plan. Things won't go according to plan for Vera either. One hundred percent. October and November is a great time to make this fight, "- said Yae.
Recall, earlier Marlon Vera offered Yae to fight in November in New York, and Peter agreed to this proposal.
Dominick Cruz, former UFC lightweight champion, has revealed his career plans. According to Cruz, he would like to have two rematches - with Marlon Vera and Henry Cejudo.
"I would like to rematch Marlon Vera. I gave away three competitive rounds in my fight with him and I know I can perform well in a rematch. I would also settle for a second fight with Henry Sejudo. Either way, those two guys are on my radar right now. I lost to both of them," Cruz said.
Recall that Vera Cruz lost by knockout in the fourth round, and Sehudo lost by TKO in the second round.

Vera: "Since the little man can't speak English and reach the keyboard...," Vera responded by posting a photo of Yan's manager, Sayat Abdrakhmanov.
Recall, earlier Vera stated that he would like to fight with Yan in November this year. In response, Peter stated that "the time for flogging" Vera will come.
