Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera Robbery: “I’m Gonna Find You” – UFC Star Issues a Warning Statement After Alleged House Break

Marlon Vera’s house was allegedly broken into before he stepped into the cage at UFC 299! The Ecuadorian mixed martial artist took on bantamweight champion, Sean O’Malley at the event. Fans were looking forward to the matchup due to prior history between the pair. At UFC 252 in 2020, O’Malley lost to ‘Chito’ due to his leg being compromised in the first round leading to a TKO finish for Vera.

But at UFC 299, things didn’t go as planned for Vera as he could not claim the gold. And his misfortune didn’t end there. Reports surfaced that the UFC fighter fell victim to an alleged robbery and break-in at his home before the event.
