Marlon Vera is eyeing fights in two big cities.
Vera competed last month against Brian Kelleher. It was his sixth fight under the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) banner. He nabbed a submission win in the first round.
Vera is currently on a three-fight winning streak. When asked where he’d like to fight next, he said he’s eyeing two big fight cities (via MMAJunkie.com):
“I would love to fight in Vegas in a big show someday. That’s like the capital. That’s one of my goals – a big fight in Vegas. But also, I saw (Georges St-Pierre) is fighting Nov. 4 in Madison Square Garden. That’s the guy, that’s the reason I’m fighting today.”
He went on to explain why he looks up to Georges St-Pierre.
“That my biggest idol in life, my role model. He’s a guy that doesn’t talk too much, fights well, always looking good, never letting people talk about him doing dumb things. … He’s just a role model for me. It would be a huge dream for me, fighting on the same card.”
