Even with service completed in UFC Las Vegas 53, held this Saturday (30), Marlon Vera has criticism of Rob font. In a press conference after his points victory in the main fight, the Ecuadorian did not spare his opponent for failing to meet the scales at the official weigh-in. The bantamweight (up to 61,2kg) was tough when analyzing the situation.

“He (Font) is a big guy for the category. Some bantamweight athletes should fight at featherweight (up to 65,7kg), but it seems they don't have the courage to do so. They know how to cut weight. I have no problem with that, but I believe that failing the weight cut is the same as cheating,” he stated.
In a great phase in Ultimate, Vera assimilated success in her commitment to balance with professionalism. The fighter then narrated part of his weight cutting process.
“I’m a guy who weighs between 68kg. and 70kg. It's because I've been training for about a year. If you are not aware, you will pay the price for it, and I showed that tonight”, he concluded.
In the main fight UFC Las Vegas 53, Vera had a gala performance. Precisely, the athlete won the victory in the unanimous decision of the judges. What's more, the Ecuadorian left his rival unrecognizable due to hundreds of connected attacks.
