Chito Vera asks for former champ Dominick Cruz next after FOTN war at UFC Vegas 29

After his win against Davey Grant at UFC Vegas 29 this past weekend, Marlon Vera thinks it makes sense if he fights Dominick Cruz next.

Vera took home an extra $50,000 for his decision win over Grant, after their back and forth war earned the Fight of the Night accolade. ‘Chito’ called out the former UFC bantamweight champion Cruz in his post-fight interview after defeating Grant.

Talking at the post-fight press conference. Vera explained that he won’t beg for a fight with Cruz and would be open to a rematch with Jose Aldo, but he doesn't think the Brazilian would want it.
