The Ecuadorian bantamweight Marlon Vera will seek his eleventh victory within the UFC on Saturday, December 19, and will face Brazilian José Aldo, former featherweight champion.
Vera (16-6-1) and Aldo (28-7-0) will star in the co-main event of the show. Chito repeats this place on the card for the second time, the previous one occurred in his last bout, when he defeated Sean O’Malley.
The UFC Las Vegas 17 event will close the year 2020 for the biggest mixed martial arts company in the world and will take place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada.
This will be the most important fight so far in the career of the manabita exponent in the company, as indicated by the UFC on its website, and the victory could catapult him to a next fight against a top 5 opponent.
If he achieves victory tonight, the 28-year-old tricolor could climb to stellar positions within the bantamweight category ranking. He currently ranks fifteenth.
