Marlon Vera Wants Jimmie Rivera Next So He Can ‘End His Career’

Marlon Vera extended his winning streak to five at UFC Fight Night 161 in Tampa, Fla., with a third-round technical knockout of Andre Ewell.

Vera dominated the contest from start to finish and believes it was about as perfect as a fight could go.

“One-hundred percent, that was about as perfect as you could,” Vera said to Sherdog. "It went exactly how we planned and what we worked for.”

Vera did suffer a foot injury in the bout, but the Team Oyama representative says that he’s continuing to train as much as possible while the ailment heals.
