UFC Record Breakdown
Chito Vera is heading back to Mexico, and this time he's looking to shake off a rough stretch. The Ecuadorian has dropped three straight, including that title shot against Sean O'Malley at UFC 299 and a recent split decision loss to Aiemann Zahabi last October. Fans remember when Vera was knocking on the door of championship gold, but now he needs to prove he's still a problem in this division. David Martinez is riding high with back to back wins, and that knee knockout of Saimon Oliveira in Mexico City last March was absolutely nasty. The Doctor landed that clinch knee at 4:38 of the first round and put Oliveira to sleep.
When these two start trading knees in the clinch, someone's going to sleep or the crowd's going to lose their minds.
Then he went the distance with Rob Font in September, showing he can hang with ranked guys. Fighting in Mexico again gives him that home crowd energy, and you know he's gonna feed off it. This is a classic striker versus striker battle. Vera's a switch stance fighter who can crack from both sides, while Martinez stays orthodox but throws heat. Chito landed 141 strikes against Pedro Munhoz back in 2023, showing he can keep a crazy pace.
Martinez was 67% accurate in that Oliveira finish, proving he doesn't waste shots. Both guys love to work in the clinch and throw knees, so expect some wild exchanges against the fence. For Vera, this is about stopping the bleeding and reminding everyone why he was a title contender. For Martinez, it's his chance to crack the rankings and announce himself as a real threat at 135.
