Chito Vera Plans Fast Start vs Martinez in Mexico

Marlon 'Chito' Vera plans an aggressive early approach against David Martinez in the co-main event at UFC Mexico on February 28 in Mexico City. On a three-fight skid, including a controversial loss to Aiemann Zahabi, Vera aims to unleash his power and reflexes from the outset to snap the streak. The bantamweight contender took the short-notice bout after impressing coaches in sparring despite family time in Italy. A win could reinsert him into contention amid Petr Yan's recent title grab at UFC 323. Vera seeks to remind the division of his top-tier status. Expect a high-pressure fistfight at altitude.
