Cory Sandhagen thinks he may have given Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera a little too much hype ahead of the Ecuadorian’s bantamweight title tilt with Sean O’Malley.
It was a long 25 minutes for ‘Chito’ at UFC 299. The first-time title challenger was battered through five rounds, being outstruck by a massive margin of 232 to 89 en route to a landslide unanimous decision loss.
Initially humble in his defeat, Vera has since made some rather preposterous claims, though everyone, including former opponent Cory Sandhagen, seems to be in agreement that ‘Chito’ simply didn’t deliver in the long-awaited rematch.
