Dominick Cruz and Marlon Vera

This Saturday, Cruz and Vera are set to do battle in the main event at the Pechanga Arena, San Diego. The fight has the potential to land the winner in a number one contender fight and for the loser, well, it could be a long road back into the title picture.

Aged 37, Cruz’s desire is still unwavering, even after winning multiple championships along with suffering numerous serious injuries, Cruz is still in the hunt for UFC gold.

Following his first career stoppage loss at the hands of then champion, Henry Cejudo, Cruz would bounce back with a win over young prospect, Casey Kenny. The forever motivated Cruz would then take on the UFC veteran Pedro Munhoz, earning himself a decision win and an elevated ranking which would put him in line for another big fight.

Cruz will need to put all his experience to good use though, as ‘Chito’ Vera is expected to bring some serious heat into this bout.

Over his last recent outings, we have seen a significant improvement in Vera’s game, even with his level of competition being raised. In November of last year, Vera would savagely knock out former champion, Frankie Edgar with an impressive front kick. Vera would then meet perennial contender, Rob Font. The New England Cartel fighter would prove no match for Vera who would batter Font on the way to a decision win.
