Marlon Vera calls out ex-Champion Petr Yan following UFC San Antonio loss: ‘It’s about time’

Off the back of his winning streak-snapping loss to the surging, Cory Sandhagen at UFC San Antonio over the weekend, Marlon Vera has offered to make his Octagon return against former undisputed bantamweight best, Petr Yan.

Vera, who entered Saturday’s headliner with the aforenoted, Sandhagen as the current #3 ranked bantamweight contender, saw his impressive winning spree halted in a split decision loss.

Prior to his judging defeat to Sandhagen in Texas, Ecuador native, Marlon Vera had stopped former two-time bantamweight champion, Dominick Cruz with a blistering fourth round high kick KO in August of last year in the main event slot of UFC San Diego.
