Vera initially made the comments at the UFC San Diego post-fight press conference where he described Cruz's style as "low level." Speaking to Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, the burgeoning bantamweight wanted to give a broader context to what he meant when discussing the former multi-promotion world champion. While discussing Cruz's resume and thoughts on his style, Vera said: "I respect 1000% him for what he did. I said this in the press conference, he make bantamweight cool. He was a name that brought up the bantamweights... I'm gonna explain a little bit when I say the low level thing. Talking about fighting like fighting technique. Doesn't matter what your style is." Vera continued: "We've got a guy like [Israel] Adesanya... He has a real solid base. His technique is sharp as f*ck but he's really flashy. With Dominick the movement that he does, me and my coach we think that's a low-level style to do MMA. It's just our opinion. It's a fact maybe we prove it because of the way we finish him." Watch the latest edtion of The MMA Hour below (Vera interview starts at 3:03:30): Vera won his last fight by way of a fourth-round headkick knockout that will surely be a knockout of the year contender. Cruz was ahead on the scorecards going into the fourth, but 'Chito's finishing ability ensured that the Ecuadorian enjoyed the last laugh.
