UFC bantamweight Marlon Vera has won his last three fights in a row and feels he’s almost ready for a title shot.
That’s why the Ecuadorian currently has his sights set on a matchup with Petr Yan as ‘Chito’ feels a win over the former bantamweight champ all but guarantees him the next title shot.
“We’re right there,” Vera told The Schmo in a recent interview (h/t MMA Fighting). “We’re literally one win away from fighting for that belt, so I hope we get it done with Yan. I think that’s the path to the belt, number one contender.
