SAN ANTONIO – Marlon Vera is ready make his case for a UFC bantamweight title shot.
Vera (20-7-1 MMA, 14-6 UFC) is hours away from taking on Cory Sandhagen in the UFC on ESPN 43 main event, which is a fight in which the winner will perhaps be one fight away from a title shot.
“Chito” knows it’s crowded at the top, but that’s why it’s so important to leave a lasting impression against Sandhagen (15-4 MMA, 8-3 UFC).
