Marlon ”Chito” Vera fortsätter att imponera då han knockar ytterligare en före detta UFC-mästare i Dominick Cruz! Vera vs Cruz tog vid under helgens UFC-gala i San Diego och kom att bjuda på massor av imponerande insatser! Veras brutala knockout kom dock att överskugga det mesta och inte helt oväntat kom han även att ta hem en Performance of the Night-bonus på 50,000 dollar, drygt 500,000 kronor.
WOAH, ducked right into it https://t.co/Lw89qkSKzK

Vera förlänger därmed sin vinstsvit till fyra raka, vilket också inkluderar två knockout-vinster mot före detta UFC-mästarna Cruz och Frankie Edgar. Kolla in några av reaktionerna på Veras imponerande knockoutvinst och se vad hans UFC-kollegor hade att säga, däribland tränaren Eric Nicksick som rekommenderade Vera att försöka sig på den spark som några minuter senare kom att sätta punkt för huvudmatchen.

Cruz- Vera, Cruz’ style difficult to deal with, blitzes you like Pacquiao, best bet is to time him as Vera did. #UFC

@DominickCruz vs @chitoveraUFC is one of the year’s most exciting fights! #UFCSanDiego #MMA

Cruz looking solid! Vera needs to capitalize on those heavy shots or Cruz will dance around him all night. #UFCSanDiego

Cruz up 2 RDs. Vera needs more activity. I think he’s waiting on the TD attempts. #UFCSanDiego
— Aljamain Sterling (@funkmasterMMA) August 14, 2022
Cruz looking good, up 2 imo #UFCSAnDiego

Vera needs to use jab to chest just to stabilize Cruz on outside. #UFCSanDiego #UFC

I wonder if dc is commentating knowing that Dominick is gonna go back and check his work lol

It’s so weird seeing Cruz this aggressive.

Dom tends to roll his head off to his right with his right hand down. Left kick by Chito would be a great answer to that. #UFCSanDiego @kaiboikamaka

Vera turning up the heat now. Last two rounds are going to be VERY interesting. #UFCSanDiego

First Frankie Edgar, now Dominick Cruz. If I'm a legend in his last title run, I want absolutely NOTHING to do with Chito Vera. Good lord that was brutal. #UFCSanDiego
— Shaheen Al-Shatti (@shaunalshatti) August 14, 2022
That is the first time that Dominick Cruz has lost a non-title bout.

Power is the great equalizer!! Chito Vera just waited and exploded… Snot to blood! Game time. @ufc ?

As I said Vera can time Cruz going out or coming in, caught him going. Impressed with steadiness/ patience of Vera! #UFCSanDiego #UFC

Marlon Vera halts Dominick Cruz with a head kick and becomes the first bantamweight in history with 10 UFC finishes. #UFCSanDiego pic.twitter.com/COFouQCKxS

Yea, I can’t believe how ppl are ignoring this fact. That chin was long gone. He looked good but we all know you need to be able to take what you can dish out. Chito landed shots that most bantamweights could take, OUTSIDE of that headkick. That was nasty! https://t.co/q70zCfDy3l

DC looks so worried here! Fitzie looks like he just saw a ghost! ? #UFCSanDiego pic.twitter.com/O5mEOrGQJY

Oooooo that kick was nastyyyyy
— Terrance McKinney (@twrecks155) August 14, 2022
Dominic was easily wining that fight(4-0) he leans the head to heavy and it’s the same way I knocked him out too. Chito won but I’m not impressed by his performance. Going back to much and getting point fought the whole fight. Chito could have finish him a couple times and didnt
