In an attempt to live up to the phrase that classics never die, Dominick Cruz is looking to prove to the UFC that he can still be a contender to fight for the 135-pound throne, i.e. Bantamweight. To do so, he will have to overcome a tough test in Marlon Vera.
Vera, a native of Ecuador, is a fierce fighter with experience and, above all, youth, who could put Cruz in predicaments, who will have to take advantage of his invaluable experience to come out with his hand up from his battle to be held at the Pechanga Arena in San Diego on August 13.
