Marlon Vera still can’t believe he’s not fighting at Sunday’s UFC Fight Night 103.
Last Wednesday, it was reported that top-5 bantamweight Bryan Caraway had suffered an injury and was out of his UFC Fight Night 103 main card bout with fellow contender Jimmie Rivera. This left Rivera without an opponent, and for Vera this was perfect opportunity to step up, take the a short-notice fight, beat a ranked opponent, and make his name in the 135-pound division.
“I saw that Caraway had suffered an injury, so as soon as I saw that, I began asking for that fight,” Vera told MMA Fighting.
