BOSTON – Marlon Vera believes his previous outing wasn’t representative of his abilities in the octagon, and will look to get back on track at UFC 292.
“Chito” Vera (20-8-1 MMA, 14-7 UFC) takes on Pedro Munhoz (20-7 MMA, 10-7 UFC) on the main card of the event at TD Garden. The bantamweight bout airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ABC/ESPN and early prelims on ESPN+.
Munhoz wasn’t Vera’s original opponent, as he was supposed to face former two-division UFC champion Henry Cejudo. However, a shoulder injury forced Cejudo to withdraw from the fight. For “Chito,” the opponent doesn’t matter, as long as he gets the opportunity to compete without having to wait until the end of 2023.
