This Thursday, March 7, and with the presence of the public, the official press conference of the billboard took place UFC 299 whose star protagonist is the Ecuadorian fighter Marlon “Chito” Vera.
Vera left her impressions about the fight with Sean O’Malley for the world bantamweight title. With the support of the Ecuadorian community, which was present in good numbers, “Chito” left the following reflections at this press conference:
“Love is felt, support is felt. “Ecuador is going to have its first world champion.”
“Luck smiles on me and will continue to smile on me for my work, for the desire I put into it. “I have never given up and what this asshole (O’Malley) says I don’t care.”
“My work ethic is what has brought me here. My dream to be world champion, whatever O’Malley says are just words. On Saturday if I have to bleed I will bleed but I will be world champion.”
The current champion of the bantamweight division, Sean O’Malley, also referred to Saturday’s fight and left the following message for Vera: “I’m going to hit him like a piñata.” It should be noted that the Ecuadorian public made their presence felt, interrupting O’Malley on several occasions.
These fighters had their penultimate confrontation before Saturday’s fight, since tomorrow the official weigh-in will be held where Vera and O’Malley will have their last meeting before the title fight.
