Marlon Vera will do whatever it takes to get the win over Jose Aldo.
Vera takes on the former featherweight champion in a bantamweight clash on the main card of UFC Vegas 17 this weekend.
In Aldo, “Chito” is undoubtedly facing the biggest and most reputable opponent of his career thus far even if the former is on a three-fight losing streak. However, it will only be business for Vera who plans on making a statement.
“It was kind of a fight that made sense,” Vera told MMA Fighting. “I’m a f*ckin’ nerd so I see how things work with the UFC. This is a chance for him [Aldo] to prove he can still beat the up-and-comers, and this is a f*ckin’ chance for me to send him home and for me to say, ‘Hey motherf*ckers, I’m coming to be a world champion.’
“We both have a big opportunity and I’m not gonna let him off the hook. When I found out Aldo was the guy, I was like, ‘F*ck yeah, let’s do it. Let’s do it tomorrow.’”
Vera is coming off a first-round TKO win over Sean O’Malley at UFC 252 in August in what was the latter’s first professional defeat. And if he was a bad matchup for O’Malley, Vera feels he is probably the worst matchup for Aldo as he is willing to accept death to earn the victory.
“This is probably the worst matchup for him,” Vera said. “It’s just another day at the office for me. It’s a name, it’s Dec. 19, and it’s a f*ckin’ fight. When they lock the cage and after Bruce Buffer is out of the cage, I’m gonna go f*ckin’ fight my ass off. I’m willing to hurt this guy and I’m willing to take it to win. I’m not gonna shy away and, like the samurais say, I’m accepting death in order to achieve victory. I’m not f*cking around with that.
“I’m coming and I’m coming in hot. That was my post when I announced the fight. I’m coming in red f*ckin’ hot.”
Given the UFC’s plan to cut as many as 60 fighters before the end of the year, there is a possibility that this could be Aldo’s last fight, especially if he goes on to lose his fourth contest in a row. One might expect him to see the best version of Aldo this weekend as a result.
While Vera naturally respects Aldo and views him as a ‘great f*cking fighter,’ he hopes the best version of the Brazilian shows up so he can break him.
“I hope so, so I can see where I am but at the end of the day, I’m gonna push every single limit that I have on myself and I’m gonna break this guy,” Vera added. “I’m gonna walk through him and I’m gonna stalk him. I’m gonna do it. Just like all of my fights, I’m gonna fight like a f*ckin’ motherf*cker. I’m gonna put it on him.”

Well in the run-up, and certainly after their UFC 252 clash in August, streaking UFC bantamweight contender, Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera and the polarizing, ‘Sugar’ Sean O’Malley had some choice words for each other. Approaching five-months after the clash, Ecuadorian finisher, Vera has distanced himself from a possible rematch with O’Malley, labelling the Montana native a “cry baby b*tch“.
Taking bragging-rights in their UFC 252 co-main event clash, Vera managed to become the first to overcome O’Malley in professional mixed martial arts, chopping at the Dana White’s Contender Series product’s right leg, causing a reoccurring injury to flare up, before finishing the youngster with a vicious barrage before the closure of the opening round.
Vera, who extended his unbeaten run at 135-pounds to six on the bounce with his high-profile co-headliner finish of O’Malley has been catapulted into an even bigger high-stakes clash with recent vacant title challenger, featherweight great, Jose Aldo at UFC Vegas 17 this weekend in Las Vegas.
Booked in a co-main event outing against the former champion, Vera features beneath a reworked main event consisting of welterweight striking talents, Stephen Thompson, and Geoff Neal.
Currently sitting at #15 in the official bantamweight pile, above the unranked O’Malley, Vera has distanced himself from a potential re-run with O’Malley in the immediate future, claiming there’s no money to be made by rematching the striker — after comparing him to a China-made version of former two-weight world champion, Conor McGregor.
“Let’s be real,” Vera said during a recent interview with TMZ Sports. “There is no big money in the rematch (with O’Malley). First thing, he’s not Conor McGregor. Conor McGregor or Nate Diaz, that’s money. Whoever fights Conor McGregor, that’s money. (Sean) O’Malley is just a lower version of Conor McGregor. He’s a China version of him. He’s made in China. He’s fake. He’s not the same.“
“There’s only one Conor McGregor,” Vera said. “There’s only one Chito Vera. There’s only one Jose Aldo. Once you try to be someone else, you will never be yourself and you will never be able to become what you want to be. If you ask me, there’s no money in a rematch. I won’t get paid any more money if I fight his ass. Don’t get me wrong. Dana White told me, ‘You never refuse a fight’. They know I never refuse a fight. So if they come with a date to fight him or someone else. I’ll take it. I like to make money.“
Vera then continued his verbal barrage toward O’Malley, claiming the 26-year-old will be “a b*tch forever” after he failed to back up his pre-fight trash-talk.
“The guy (Sean O’Malley) is a cry baby,” Vera explained. “He’s a little b*tch. He’s a b*tch once, you’re going to be a b*tch forever. I don’t care about the guy. He was talking all of this crap. If you can’t back it up you better change your game.” (BJPENN.com)
Yet to be booked since his knockout defeat to Vera, O’Malley recently explained how Muay Thai practitioner, Thomas Almeida rejected the opportunity to stand opposite him at UFC 258 on February 13 — but still plans to make his Octagon return sometime in February, nevertheless.

It doesn’t look like Jose Aldo and Marlon Vera will be competing on the UFC 255 card.
It was recently reported that an exciting bantamweight bout between the pair was in the works for the UFC 255 pay-per-view taking place November 21 in Las Vegas.
However, that is unlikely now according to ESPN’s Ariel Helwani who states that Vera is now hoping it can be booked for UFC 256 on December 12.
“The Marlon Vera vs. Jose Aldo fight isn’t a done deal for UFC 255 on 11/21, sources say. Vera tells me he loves the fight and is hoping it can be booked for UFC 256 on 12/12, but it is very unlikely that it happens on 11/21.”
UFC 255 is currently headlined by a flyweight title fight between Deiveson Figueiredo and Alex Perez. A women’s flyweight title fight features in the co-main event as Valentina Shevchenko defends her title against Jennifer Maia.
Compared to recent pay-per-view events, UFC 255 is weak on star power and the addition of Aldo vs. Vera would have certainly helped.
However, that could be UFC 256’s gain as it also plays host to two title fights including a women’s featherweight clash between Amanda Nunes and Megan Anderson and a bantamweight collision between Petr Yan and Aljamain Sterling. Both Aldo and Vera could also serve as potential backups for the bantamweight title fight should either competitor be unable to compete. For now, though, nothing is confirmed.
Aldo is coming off a fifth-round TKO defeat to Yan at UFC 251 in July. Vera, meanwhile, is coming off a first-round TKO win over Sean O’Malley at UFC 252 in August.
Who do you think wins between Aldo and Vera?
