Chito Vera was absolutely furious with the comments Cory Sandhagen made after his recent defeat at UFC 299. He gave his agitated response to Sandhagen in an interview. Vera has been on the receiving end of a lot of criticism because of his performance. He also made an excuse regarding Sean O’Malley‘s hair being too greasy during the fight, which also backfired in a major way. Here is what happened:

Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera recently was a guest on the MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani. There he responded to Sandhagen’s recent remarks on his fight at UFC 299.

You made your whole f*****g do***bag YouTube video. Stick to fighting, dude. You’re not a f***ing influencer. You look like a f*****g idiot.

Sandhagen criticized Marlon “Chito” Vera’s performance against O’Malley at UFC 299. He stated that Vera looked homeless and said the two bantamweights were a mismatch because of Vera’s poor performance. Sandhagen expressed disappointment in the outcome of the fight.

The Sandman’s main criticism circled around the difference in the number of significant strikes landed by the two. He also observed that O’Malley was able to overwhelm Chito via various feints. Sandhagen had previously beaten Vera at UFC on ESPN 43. He said that O’Malley won almost the same kind of way he beat Chito.

In the co-main event at UFC 299, O’Malley defended his bantamweight title against Vera for the first time. Vera endured through all five rounds but ended up getting dominated by O’Malley’s impressive striking. Sandhagen also said that O’Malley’s speed advantage was obvious and that Vera struggled to fire back before O’Malley left range.

During an interview with James Lynch, O’Malley’s coach revealed that he tried to shake Vera’s hand and give him some encouraging words. However, Vera reportedly dismissed Tim Welch’s gesture and told him that they would never be friends. However, Welch said he would not hold it against Vera as it is normal to feel bitter after getting “your a** whooped”.

Vera criticized O’Malley’s coach for his behavior and said that he simply wanted to “keep it real”. He said Welch had a mediocre MMA career and now talked trash and was trying to live through O’Malley.
