The main event of Saturday’s UFC Fight Night features two Southern California MMA legends squaring off in the Octagon when Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera takes on San Diego native Dominick ‘The Dominator’ Cruz in Cruz’s backyard at the Pechanga Arena.
A win for either fighter will put them squarely in the mix for a bantamweight title shot.
Both fighters are UFC veterans with Chito joining the promotion in 2014 and Cruz making his Octagon debut all the way back in 2011.
’The Dominator’ was a can’t-miss prospect when he joined the UFC but has battled injuries throughout his career and never lived up to his potential.
