“A thousand percent, it’s a big fight, and the opponents that I beat were either former champions or guys from the top five,” Vera said in an interview with Michael Bisping. “I got a long way, that is, that is – such is life. Some people get the shorter and easier road, mine is the long one, but I believe that an impressive win over this guy will be my ticket to a title fight. You go out, turn off the light to your opponent, and all the doors open for you.”
However, Vera is not going to sit idle if she doesn’t get a title shot after the Sandhagen fight.
“If I’m healthy, what’s the point of sitting out my pants? If there is a bag of money, why not take it? I will continue to go forward and beat real opponents. The experience that I have cannot be bought with money, and with each fight I become cooler and better. So while the rest of them act like a bunch of idiots, I will get better, and when I get to the goal, none of them will have a chance. ”
Recall that the fight in the bantamweight division 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.
