Bantamweight Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera took questions from Megan Olivi prior to his main event matchup at UFC San Antonio.
thank you so much guys Cheeto obviously embracing the San Antonio host City but you know when you were offered this fight why did you say yes I want to compete again instead of maybe taking a step back and just seeing how everything plays out at 1 35. um I honestly feel like when you start playing that game of holding your position and trying to slide into minivan I learned to move into a turtle shot something doesn’t work on you know if you work hard enough and you’re really a good season to pull the time on I mean what are the chances of of losing right I mean it’s competition is one-on-one and I’m ready to go so I’m not shot away from a challenge and this is a big challenge what type of challenges does Corey sandhagen present in your mind as a competitor he’s a really tough fight he’s a he’s a he’s a hard fight for every angle I see but so do I and I’m prepared for it I’m ready I’m in great shape and tomorrow night I’m just gonna let it go and you know just be the best it can you know what his last fight we saw him shoot for quite a few takedowns are you expecting him to have that type of approach with you as well um I feel like lately everybody should when they get hurt or something like that uh when he talks about fighting on you know he was talking about things like you know I was trying to be this watch and put this mask on of this tough guy I miss myself if you should that is pro if I we fight so ID is trying to like play the MMA game that’s from what he says but I’m here to fight I’m a fighter we know that you are this one is scheduled for five rounds you’re no stranger to a 25 minute fight how much do you want to drag him into those deep Waters and how does it benefit you to see those later rounds um I think the more time you get in the club are the more chances that you got to figure out how to win a fight sometimes it’s not easy to finish it early so I’m ready to go and if I if I gotta go 20 if I gotta dig deep I’m here to do it excellent well we are here to watch Cheeto best of luck too thanks guys
