About Marlon Vera (fighter) in brief
Marlon Vera is an Ecuadorian mixed martial artist who competes in the Bantamweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. He first appeared on The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America in May 2014. As of August 25, 2020, he is #15 in the UFC bantamweight rankings. Vera began training as an amateur in 2011 and made his professional debut in February 2012. He compiled a record of 6–1–1, competing for regional promotions in Latin America before trying out for The Ultimate fighter in 2014. He has faced fellow castmate Marco Beltrán on November 15, 2014 at UFC 180. Vera was expected to face Ning Guangyou on August 20, 2016 at UFC 202.
However, on August 9, 2016 it was revealed that Guangyou had tested positive for trace amounts of clenbuterol in relation to an out-of-competition drug test taken on May 19. The bout was rescheduled and expected to take place the following week at UFC on Fox 21. In turn, the bout was postponed again due to alleged visa issues for Guangyou, which restricted the timing of his travel. The pairing eventually took place at featherweight on November 27,2016 at UFC Fight Night 101. Vera won the fight via TKO in the third round for which he was awarded a Performance of the Night bonus.
