View this post on Instagram Instagram Post In a recent interview with TMZ Sports, Vera spoke about what the future holds for him following his win at UFC San Diego. When asked about his thoughts on a matchup against bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling, Vera had this to say: “You know I feel like we both are closest to same size. I would say he’s a little bigger than me but in that range, we’re going to scrap. I think we can grapple. I really think that I’m the best in the world right now, so from now on anybody in front of me, I’m going to just beat them and not because I wish it happens, because I work hard.” View this post on Instagram Instagram Post ‘Chito’ is certainly confident in his ability to take on anyone. Vera explained that he wants to engage Sterling in a brutal fight: “I don’t want to get in there and hold him in a position. I want to get in there and just drill a hole to his face, and he’s the guy with the belt right now, so that’s the guy you want.” Check out the complete Vera interview below: Marlon Vera revisits his knockout win over Dominick Cruz admits the veteran s a hard guy to fight Marlon Vera defeated former two-time bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz in San Diego on August 13.
