Marlon Vera faced disappointment when his highly anticipated bout against Henry Cejudo was canceled, but he expressed his sentiments concisely with just two words.
“Well… f***.”
Upon learning about Cejudo’s withdrawal from their scheduled UFC 292 fight due to a shoulder injury, Vera promptly took to social media to share his brief reaction. You can find his response below.
Vera, currently ranked eighth in the bantamweight division according to the MMA Hook Global Rankings, didn’t dwell on the unfortunate news for long. Shortly after his tweet, he called out Petr Yan, a two-time UFC champion.
Yan, currently ranked fifth, is going through a challenging phase in his career, having suffered three consecutive losses to Merab Dvalishvili, Sean O’Malley, and Aljamain Sterling. Although he initially won the UFC bantamweight title at UFC 251, he lost it controversially through disqualification to Sterling in his first title defense at UFC 259.
Vera himself is determined to bounce back from a split-decision loss to Cory Sandhagen in March, which halted his impressive four-fight winning streak. The talented fighter from Ecuador has emerged victorious in 10 of his last 13 bouts.
