“This is a great bantamweight bout,” the Triple Champion stated in a video posted to his YouTube channel. “If I had to bet money, I would bet on Corey to win early or by unanimous decision. Chito Vera is a tough guy who can last five rounds. He is a tough dude and he has the will – this is his main quality. The only option to beat Corey Sandhagen is to fight him or win a strong-willed victory. I just don’t think Marlon’s skill set and willpower will be enough to take down a guy like Cory.”
Currently, the odds for Sandhagen to win are 1.667 (probability 60.00%), while Vera’s success is estimated at 2.3 (probability 43.48%).
Recall that the fight between Marlon Vera and Cory Sandhagen will be the main event of the UFC Fight Night 219 tournament, which will be held February 18 in Las Vegas.
