Ecuadorian Bantamweight fighter Marlon “Chito” Vera fights with an aggressive, jiu-jitsu style. He doesn’t care what the public thinks of his style:

“It’s gonna start as a fight. I’m not very good at reading comments or paying attention to the public opinion, I get it and I’ve heard because I watch my fights sometimes, but that’s just another opinion.”

Vera’s style helped him defeat current UFC Bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley the last time the pair squared off. The duo meet again at UFC 299 on March 9th: will Vera ride his style to another victory?
