Marlon Vera plans to step away for a “reset” following his latest loss to Deiveson Figueiredo.
Vera was completely outclassed by the former flyweight champ en route to a unanimous decision loss in their bantamweight clash at UFC on ABC 7 on Saturday at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. This marked Vera second consecutive decision loss following a failed title bid against Sean O'Malley at UFC 299 this past March.
Addressing his latest loss, Vera admitted that he may have returned to action too soon after the O’Malley defeat.
