Henry Cejudo vs. Marlon Vera Set for UFC 292 Fight on Aug. 19

After coming up short in his return fight against UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling last month, Henry Cejudo is set to return to the Octagon this summer.

UFC president Dana White told ESPN's Brett Okamoto that Cejudo and fellow bantamweight contender Marlon "Chito" Vera have verbally agreed to fight at UFC 292 in Boston on Aug. 19. That card is headlined by Sterling defending his title against Sean O'Malley in the main event.
