Marlon Vera accuses ‘fat c*nt’ Petr Yan of rejecting UFC San Diego headliner against him

Streaking UFC bantamweight contender, Marlon Vera has blasted former undisputed and interim division titleholder, Petr Yan – accusing the Dudinka native of rejecting this weekend’s UFC San Diego headlining slot against him, labelling the former gold holder a “fat c*nt” in his attempt to delay the bout. Currently, in the midst of an impressive three-fight […]

Currently, in the midst of an impressive three-fight winning run, Marlon Vera occupies the #5 rank in the official bantamweight pile, off the back of a one-sided unanimous decision success against Rob Font back in April. The bout earned both Vera and Font Fight of the Night honors.

As for Yan, the former undisputed champion attempts to snap a run of two consecutive losses to rival and current division pacesetter, Aljamain Sterling – failing to successfully unify the bantamweight crowns at UFC 273 back in April. The Russian technician returns at UFC 280 in October against the surging, Sean O’Malley in a high-profile Abu Dhabi, UAE showdown.

For Vera, the RUCA (stylised as RVCA) mainstay continues in his headlining form this weekend, taking main event status against former two-time division titleholder, Dominick Cruz at UFC San Diego.

Marlon Vera claims the UFC initially offered him a fight with Petr Yan

However, Vera claims the promotion initially attempted to book him opposite Yan, before accusing the Dudinka striker of rejecting the San Diego showdown – in favor of an end-of-year matchup.

“Petr Yan, that fat c*nt, declined the fight, because he was eating pizza in Italy,” Marlon Vera told Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour. “And he was like, “Oh, I don’t have time to make weight, I don’t have time to prepare”. If I’m that easy money, why don’t you say, ‘F*ck it, I’ll finish my slice and kick your ass”?”

“But, he declined the fight, he said he wants to fight in November, or October, so I was like, you ain’t that cool to wait for you, buddy,” Marlon Vera explained. “I want options, I wanna fight, I wanna make money. And they (the UFC) went, “Well, he declined, now we move – do you wanna fight Dominick Cruz?” I was like, “Sure, why not?” Why am I gonna lie? That’s not trash talking, that’s not beef between me and the Russian fat guy. He just didn’t have the time. He was on a little trip in Europe, good for him, dude.”

Prior to his April win over Font, Vera managed to stop former undisputed lightweight champion, Frankie Edgar with a third round front kick knockout back in November at Madison Square Garden, after avenging a prior defeat against Davey Grant.

UFC bantamweight Marlon Chito Vera called for a fight against Petr Yan in his next fight.

Coming off an impressive win over Rob Font in his latest outing, Chito Vera pushed himself up the rankings to land on the fifth contender spot for the 135-lbs division. Having made his way into the UFC in 2014, Vera got to headline a show for the first time at UFC on ESPN 35. In his debut five-round bout, Vera scored three knockdowns against Font who landed a superior amount of significant strikes.

Following his win, Chito Vera made his intentions of fighting for the title clear as he looked to work his way up the rankings. After the highly anticipated rematch between Aljamain Sterling and Petr Yan went against the Russian, Yan found himself as the top contender instead of the champion.

Chito Vera calls for Petr Yan

In an interview with The Schmo, Marlon Chito Vera talked about his ambitions for the bantamweight gold and called for a fight against Petr Yan next.

“We’re right there,” Vera said. “We’re literally one win away from fight for that belt so I hope we get it done with Yan. I think that’s the path to the belt. Number 1 contender, we kick his ass, and we move forward.”

Chito Vera is willing to fight Sean O’Malley for a second time if the UFC decides to make it happen as ‘Suga’ works his way up the food chain.

“If they want to make it happen, I kick his ass again, put him out the same way. He going to keep talking, I keep winning.”

Vera also speculated the reasoning behind Henry Cejudo‘s abrupt retirement and his many calls for return since.

“It’s weird he retires, now wants to come back. Maybe he test positive, and they told him he test positive so he retire, and now he’s coming back.”

Ultimately, Chito Vera has his eyes set on the title and is confident he’ll overcome any obstacles in his way to get there.

“I’m fighting number one contender next, I’m kicking his ass, and whoever has the belt, I’m taking it from them.”
