Michael Bisping recently provided an update on Marlon 'Chito' Vera's preparations for his title fight against Sean O'Malley at UFC 299 and noted that the bantamweight contender has been on point with his training.
There has been plenty of speculation as to whether Vera had a great camp after former bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling claimed he had heard that it didn't go well. Bisping uploaded a video to his X account to dispute that rumor, as he heard from 'Chito's' coach himself and mentioned that he has even seen impressive footage. He said:
"So, I was talking to [Jason] Parillo last night and I'm like, 'Have you seen this, what Aljamain Sterling's saying? Did he [Marlon Vera] have a bad camp?' Parillo was laughing his head off. He's like, 'No, [Vera] did not have a bad camp.' In fact, he sent me some footage. Let me tell you right now, 'Chito' Vera is looking like a nasty bast**rd. He's knocking people out in training."
