UFC bantamweight contender Marlon Vera is currently enjoying time outside the octagon and has taken a trip to Paris where he has been doing a fashion walk for renowned designer Willy Chavarria. The 32-year-old former title challenger has taken a break from competing after suffering back-to-back losses against Sean O'Malley and Deiveson Figueiredo.

When Marlon Vera expressed interest in fighting former bantamweight champion
Marlon Vera expressed his interest in facing former double champion Henry Cejudo. Both Vera and Cejudo are coming off back-to-back losses and are looking for a win to get their careers back on track.
Cejudo retired after defending his title in 2020 against Dominick Cruz but decided to return in 2023 for the love of competition. But he lost back-to-back fights against Aljamain Sterling and Merab Dvalishvili and hasn't fought since February of last year.
Speaking to MMA journalist Ariel Helwani on The Ariel Helwani Show, 'Chito' revealed his interest in fighting the Olympic gold medalist. The pair was originally scheduled to fight at UFC 292 but 'Triple C' pulled out due to an injury. Speaking on the potential matchup, Vera said:
"Los Angeles can be great for me so I could have my own crowd...LA could be good or Mexico City for the main event. And I mean, the guy ahead of me is Henry Cejudo...We'll see, I think that's a great fight."
