Marlon Vera says that ‘Fat Petr Yan’ was too busy with pizza eating to be able to defeat me

According to Chito Vera, the UFC summoned him to fight against Petr Yan (ex-bantamweight champion). 13

Hearing that name, Vera said he immediately agreed. But then there were some unpleasant complications.

“Petr Yan, that fat c***, declined the fight because he was eating pizza in Italy, and he said, ‘Oh, I don’t have time to make the weight or I don’t have time to prepare,'” Yan said Monday on The MMA Hour. If I were that rich, you could just go ahead and say “F***it, I finish my pizza, kick your arse!” But Yan declined to take part in the fight, saying that he wanted to fight in October or November. So, Yan said Monday on The MMA Hour. I want to fight. I would like to earn money. Let’s go. They went, ‘Well, he declined, you want to fight Dominick Cruz?’ I was like, sure, why not?

” Why am I telling lies? There’s no lies. You don’t have to keep any memories in the event you tell the truth. So yeah, that’s what happened. This is not just s*** talk. It was just that he didn’t have time. It was a short trip to Europe. Good for him, dude. He’s a good guy .”

Vera will now face former champ Cruz at UFC San Diego. Yan will meet Sean O’Malley UFC 280 for his first fight after a failure to retake title from Aljamain Sterling UFC 273.. Cruz is not a matchup Vera is mad at, though he concedes the UFC commentator and fighter may be a slightly less attractive option.

“Vera spoke out about Yan and Cruz’s comparison. “There’s no better, no less. Dominick’s a little older, let’s keep it real. He probably won’t keep up the way Yan will.

“But it’s still a fist fight, dude. You can break your pinky and you’re f*****. A cut can change a fight. So I’m not thinking this is going to be any easier. I’m f****** waking up every day thinking this is going to be the hardest, bloodiest fight of my life, but I think that about every single guy.”

Vera repeatedly criticised Yan for failing to accept her callout before they met in San Diego. In return, Cruz pointed out his ranking and stressed his personal matchmaking decisions were centered on higher-ranked opponents and favorable dates for his preperation.

Vera won three fights, including a knockout of Frankie Edgar in a highlight reel and a decision over Rob Font. He was able to negotiate with Cruz the deal he wanted. Vera jumped three spots ahead of Cruz in UFC’s top 15. rankings. In the MMA Fighting Global Rankings, the gap is even bigger at four spots: Vera is No. 7 Cruz is at No. 11.

Either way, Vera is finally getting the matchups he wants in order to capture titles. If he defeats Cruz on Saturday, it may not be long before he’s facing the winner of the upcoming fight between O’Malley vs. Yan fight at UFC 280.
