Marlon Vera would like it if former WEC and UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz would take the time to direct his attention to the newest, latest version of the official UFC bantamweight rankings.
Following his dominant win over Rob Font in the main event of UFC Vegas 53, Vera moved from No. 8 up to No. 5 in those rankings. That shift puts Vera, who is on a three-fight winning streak, above Cruz, who dropped from No. 7 to No. 8 in the updated rankings.
Vera hopes the change in the rankings will finally get him a matchup with the ex-champ.
