Marlon Vera Loses Second-Straight Fight At UFC Abu Dhabi
3 months agoMarlon Vera suffered a decision loss to Deiveson Figueiredo on the main card of UFC Abu Dhabi on Saturday. Vera entered the bout coming off a decision loss to Sean O'Malley in March for the bantamweight title. In the first round, he struggled with Figueiredo's grappling, but in the second round, he stuffed all six attempts and outlanded the Brazilian to even the fight going into the third. However, in the third round, Vera was dropped for the first time in his career which ended up being the difference as he lost a decision. With the loss, Vera is now 15-9 in the UFC and will likely need to fight someone outside the top-10 next time out.
