Chito's mindset, outlook on the fight game, work ethic and overall vibe is top class. Winners mentality. Respekt
Agreed. I became a huge fan of chito of the past year or 2
yeah chito's a cool dude, not many of those around anymore beside joe rogan and jake paul
Absolutely, it's like in Chinese philosophy that says the snowflake you reach for will escape you, but if you stand still it will come to you. The man knows he's headed in a direction and he's fine with the journey.
so many fake promotions accounts on youtube. u can see it for yourself. just check the creation date of most liked accounts under mma/ufc videos. I just made video about it :D
I want to see O’Malley & Chito run it back
That's what the ufc wants to do again lol
@@colin6673 relax. Both needa stay healthy and be the modern day faber vs Cruz rivalry
@@colin6673 if Petr couldn’t finish O’Malley , I don’t think chito does either. Unless there’s another freak leg injury like the first fight
@@TrOlLkInGs14 obviously not if Sean won by “split decision “
@@chrisperry1729 If it was a 5 rounder I could see Chito TKOing him
Vera is absolutely legit; much respect...

@@Dualities I am real as can be! I've been watching Vera the past few years. Definitely feel he's on the way up.
"I could go online and raise a little smoke but.. I'd rather just smoke it" 😂 Chito is the man
@@hi-dl4kw he would rather smoke Marijuana and chill
I thought he meant rather than talk online he rather just fight
Chito's authenticity shines through every single time. He's becoming one of my favorite fighters. Never change Chito!
One thing I noticed about Chito Vera he does not underestimate anyone & he gives credit to EVERYONE, & staying humble! 👍👍💯👌😎
How can you hate this guy? Exudes such calm, positive energy in all of his interviews and is still one of the most entertaining guys in the sport today. Keep it up Chito 🙏🏻
Chito is a G. Can't wait to watch his opportunity to fight for the belt.
A lot of respect for Vera for understanding the matchmaking in the UFC. He deserves some spotlight
O’Malley vs Chito needs it’s own headliner, it can stand on its own and do huge numbers or put it as co-Main on the Jones vs Ngannou card.
It needs to be a 5 rounder tho
@@demetriusshaffer1784 That’s the only way, Sean is with the big boys now so you have to play the big boy game. 5rd fights from here until he retires 🔥
None of them call out Merab or Simone… Aljo smokes all these guys
Chito is so down to earth and completely honest all the time. O’Malley and chito have to rematch before Sean gets a title shot…
No way. The O'Malley rematch is the biggest fight in the division. I don't want it until it's a title fight IDC who gets it first. I want Chito to get the shot then if he wins do the rematch.
lol
@@H-Town_83 youre right it would be a HUGE fight if one of them was a champ
@@jasonporter400 nice insight
so many fake promotions accounts on youtube. u can see it for yourself. just check the creation date of most liked accounts under mma/ufc videos. I just made video about it :D
Chito should get the next title shot. He proved himself in two main events, the second of which he finished Cruz with that beautiful headkick. O'Malley fought a great fight but he doesn't have the same momentum as Vera after the no contest and questionable decision.
100% agree
Exactly I agree! The UFC need to make it right by Yan and give him rematch with the clown show
@@juviegill2080 id like chito and sean to rematch personally
@@kylesawkon4074 Chito already broke the clown show
@@kylesawkon4074 Imagine Chito beating Sterling and O'Malley getting that rematch for a title, would be sick! I wouldn't be opposed to a rematch between Sean and Peter but make it 5 rounds.
Cito Vera deserves the title shot NOW 🚀🚀👑 or give him a big money fight vs O’Malley 🔥🔥 This dude is a monster 💥🔥
@Joshua Martinez Pay-per-view is a money fight .. Vera vs O’Malley 2 is pay-per-view FIGHT bruh 😎
@Theyoungestson111 Lmfao ?? Smoking good weed I guess 😂
chito vs omalley best fight to make, even suga in his interview, u could tell he knew he is not ready for title shot
PPV for the UFC only champs, Connor and Nate get PPV points.
Sean would destroy him
Lol idk why but the way he was saying “oh it was a sexy offer” had me weak talking about the sandhagen thing 😂
@BONNEE MCGEE lol yeah, I know what he meant. Chito is just one of these like funny mfers when he’s just not even trying to be.
“Can’t crack a yoke” 🤣🤣🤣
joke
Chito's a real one . Can't wait to see who's next for him in his quest for UFC gold. 👊
Omalley vs chito make it happen
lol sean kind of ruined the rankings with that win
What about Chito vs Yan ?
@@bigal2417 sounds okay. Sean fckd it all up. I would of said sandhagen v yan but that's happend . Hell let's chuck I'm merab against omalley
Omalley will piece him up in a 3 round fight.
Chito has the best interviews, never tries too hard authentic af🙌🏻
This dude is smooth he carries himself and only states facts and honestly onya bro last few fights he won me over much love from Australia bro ✊
Much respect to Chito! He definitely deserves the next title shot
And you subscribe you Rudy G … let that sink in!
@@squadabingo7290 Could be worse: he could subscribe to Joe Biden.
Really respect chito even more than I already did he seals honest
mf cant fight for the title if he cant blow his nose
@@highrollerdiscs805 I seal what you did there.
@@baggerjanus that seals the deal
@@SBAssociation you're being sealy.
Absolutely Love Chito's interviews!!! Always keepin it 💯
I like what he said about his development, he's such a chill dude. So many guys are chomping at the bit for title shots, and this guy's just like, "I'll get there, and I'll be better when I do".
Love you & your vibes Marlin Chito Vera❣️🙏✌️ Thx Ariel ~ another GREAT interview
His mindset and being humble to the game and peoples will make him champion very soon. Let's go champ.
I really believe with the way the division played itself out over the weekend he is the most deserving of the title shot. Even tho it was questionable, he beat sean not to long ago. Give him the title shot and i guarantee Sean and Chito will meet again some time in the near future regardless with how skilled the both of them are
The ufc wont put suga in there with aljo at this time. He will fight, sandhagen, chito or font. Aljo may get scheduled vs cejudo, but i have my doubts if it even happens. Aljo will crush him, cuz henry isnt really into it. He would only be showing up for a check and aljo is basically unbeatable right now. Omalley is my fave fighter, but i dont think he has a chance right now with aljo. Maybe in a year or two. Aljos takedown threat, will totally neutralize sugas striking.
“He’s a kook” 😂 I wanna see chito and aljo press conference now.
Sean O'Malley needs to fight this man again to decide who gets the shot
Nah I say save it, would be a wayyyyy bigger fight if one of them is champion for the rematch! A lot has to fall into place for that to happen but just think of the pressers and the build to this fight for a championship
lol uncle Dana wont let that happen, he is not gonna risk his golden chicken
@@brickflair8926 good call
Could you imagine if Chito rematches O'malley and kicks him in his nerve and gives him drop foot again haha thatd be fkng hilarious 😂
welcome to the Chito Show 😂👏
Chito has those vicious front kicks to. I want chito and Sean to run it back. It kills a contender, but could see it being fight of the year
@@handsolo1546 agreed
Dude is the most humble/ it is what it type of dude !! This interview was refreshing asf to watch someone who just naturally answers question to a super genuine level compared to the fighters who puts on a persona when the cameras are on
Marlon’s takes are some of my favorites. O Malleys win was a gift decision and he knew it. But that takes nothing away from the Suga Show he’s still one of my favorite fighters to watch and he looked spectacular Saturday, better than ever before. Respect to both Yan and O Malley that was a top notch battle.
I love this incredible logic. Perception is everything. Vera is honest to himself first.
When i started looking for this video it had not existed yet, excited to see his take on this decision!
Even Chito read O'Malley's body language. He looked defeated, especially on the ground. His eyes were telling everything about how he felt. It'd be cool if O'Malley just comes clean and does the rematch.
He meant his body language after the fight. Sean never looked defeated during the fight, gave it his all until the end.
@@Alex-os5ln 😂😂😂whatever helps you sleep at night kid
@@bobsapp3621 😂😂 man O’Malley looked gassed all fight 😂💀
@@Alex-os5ln watch when Sean got taken down in the 2nd round, he inhaled deep, looked around like he didn't know where he was. He made the same expression like when you're a kid and you get the wind knocked out of you. During the second round until the end of the fight, he looked defeated. He didn't even want to answer DC when asked if he did enough to win the fight. Sean is an extremely confident and stand up man, and instead pleaded the 5th. His entire cadance disappeared after the fight. He never acts like that after he wins. He was a different person, because he knows deep inside who won.
@@luagoluago and Yan was ape swinging 😂 Obviously both were tired by Sean looks like that because it’s a breathing technique
Marlon is so so inspirational
Lmao Chito had me cracking up, man hella funny.
I didn't know chito until O'Malley fight but it's another case of how much their life changes with the right matchup and good record up till then . Fans love hearing and seeing fighters interview
Champ mindset!! You deserve belt! Keep being who you are man!
Marlon is the man I hope he gets a title shot soon, he would take out Sterling no problem. His streak and momentum is building you can see the confidence and he's always been a killer finishing most of his opponents.
Chito is a real one for sure. You guys have a great rapport as well, reminds me of you and Leon. Rooting for Chito to get the belt
chito vs algo is the only fight to make. Aljo took no damage against tj, chito has been waiting for a fight. make it happen, chito will finish also guaranteed.
This man Chito is as real as it gets when it comes to keeping it 💯, the place he is mentally is second to none...I wld love to smoke with him😳💯😁
Man gained a whoole lotta respect for Marlon after this, good on him man
Chito is the realist at 135 he should have the belt by the end of 2023!👑
Chito is so respectable used to not like him but the way he shows respect and is always down to throw down mad respect
Love this dude, always keeps it’s real.
Petr Yan shouldn't have left in the judges hands. He is the one who said O'Malley had no business fighting him. Guess he was wrong
Respect to chito from australia 👏
We absolutely love Chito. His mental strength is next level.
Chito Vera, true warrior spirit. Verdad.
Loved chito since I seen him on that anatomy of a fighter when O'Malley poped for whatever and there first fight fell through he's always kept it 💯
13:03 can please someone tell me what they talking about. i’m spanish, so i didn’t get it. i think it’s about a joke Aljamain said about Chito’s name on his octagon interview but i don’t understand.
I love this guy's attitude that's why he's one of the best fights in division
I've got a great attitude too. Me and Chito are like this🤞 in the attitude department. I'm thinking maybe I get a shot.
@@reeb9016 what? You’re not in ufc why would you get anything
@@Graciekiller32 My great attitude. See 👉😁
@@reeb9016 he’s also been beating ass. You can’t say the same so maybe you can get a #1 contender fight and get it after him
@@reeb9016 he’s winning fights, so idk why you’re being facetious
Always good to see Chito
I was never a Sean O’Mally fan but the fact that he made it to the end of that fight in one piece, proves he’s the real deal. I can’t stand when people deny the truth when they’re shown proof…
yeah and people are still saying hes a hype train
Why do people think someone that trains full time and is fighting in the toughest MMA organization doesn't deserve to be at there or isn't the real deal? The dude can fight and belongs there. With that said, he lost that fight. Yan won 2-1
In spite of all the flash, the dude is based af.
He would have never made through 5 rounds. Look at how the third round ended. We all know Peter gets better in the last couple rounds and O'Malley falls off
Same
He’s the peoples number one he’s quickly became my favorite banterweight no gimmicks
In my opinion, not that Aljo is some killer but he's a terrible matchup for O'Malley and Chito being the best pure grappler in the division. I really don't think either are chomping at the bit to get to get that shot. I would assume Chito gets the next shot at Aljo and the UFC is hoping he takes the belt so they can do O'Malley vs Chito for the belt. I really, really don't think the UFC wants to do O'Malley vs Aljo. Aljo will 100% ride his back for 25 minutes..
Agreed I want Sean to wait for a better matchup, Book Aljo and Chito and Book Malley and Sandhagen for the next on the same card
@@SBAssociation that would be crazy. I’m really interested to see how Sean and sandhagen match up now that we’ve seen them both fight yan. I think cory was more fluid against yan but Sean is a warrior and now he has shown us he can grapple a bit aswell… would probably stay on the feet but I think that’s where everyone wants it to be anyways
@@alec6358 Sean has the power advantage. Cory has the cardio advantage. I could see Cory winning by decision. I don’t see O’Malley ko’ing Sandman tho. Unless it’s early and he’s fresh. That has the potiental to be the best bantamweight striking match in ufc history. The tallest, longest bantams going at it in a kickboxing fest. Hope it gets made soon
@@SBAssociation That would be awesome, but UFC isn't having Sean fight absolutely anybody unless it's for a belt. It makes zero sense, he's the #1 contender and it's not in the UFC's best interest to have him fight. My non expert opinion? The next time Aljo takes a shower and he misses a phone call they're going to make a interim belt. O'Malley vs Chito/Corey for the interim, winner gets dry humped by Aljo. But, I'd be willing to bet the house that we see a 135 interim title. Aljo beats them all (by riding their backs), and the UFC wants no part of that.
definitely has become my favorite prospect turned contender..
great content
how can one not like chito such a good humble guy and im an omalley fan who didnt like chito when he won, but he is too classy man what a lad
This dude has a great mindset
I feel like chito has a smart mindset like im young and im getting better with every fight so the longer it takes to get a title shot the better ill be. True and smart
Chito is real one since the beginning! I really hope he becomes the champ 🏆
So many great fights @'35 🔥
I really like this guy. He’s got a great head on his shoulders. I believe he’s right, he will be champion.
To me, combat sambo is a combo of jiu jitsu, judo, karate, pressure points, Muay Thai, and tai chi, then add individualistic freestyle elements and you have a more diverse fighter. Chito is my all time favorite person/fighter in MMA besides The Spider, however, no matter what style ✌️
Wow im really impressed with Vera's state of mind he's a cool dude
Marlon Chito vera 👍 one of my favorites in & out of the octagon he’s the real deal 👊💪👊 Journey to the boundless
Chito is the guy I want to see in there fighting for the belt next I think he deserves it next and that's probably the biggest fight you can get right now at that weight and then him and O'Malley rematch for the belt that would draw so much money and I think the second fight would be a war but Sterling's a monster and Henry never lost the belt shoot I really don't know but there's four guys right now give it to my boy right here first and go from there
Vamos chito. Seras campeon hermano sigue asi dandonos esas peleas tan brutales y entretenidas
Chito is becoming my favorite fighter. Love the dude.
love this guy! straight bad ass !! he will get gold !!
I remember Dana completely dismissed Cejudo when someone brought up him fighting Volk for the 145 belt but now he's open to him possibly fighting for the 135 belt? 😂 Cejudo is clearly getting the next shot and O'Malley will fight Chito or Cory for the next title fight 💯 can't wait to see those rankings tomorrow tho
is he even in the pool
Sean vs Cory would be pretty sweet
He dismissed it because cejudo first weight class was 125 and has never fought at 145! He has fought at 135 and had the belt and never lost it. Plus he probably thinks it would be a good fight because Aljo just wrestles and gets on back. Cejudo is Olympic gold medalist wrestler. Aljo probably won't be able to take cejudo back
That's good tbh
But didn’t dismiss Volkswagen never fighting at lightweight? Dumb dumb logic at its finest
Marlon is the man! He definitely keeps it real and how can you fault a guy for being honest? He deserves either O'Malley for #1 contender spot or Sterling for the belt.
I honestly love this guy
His mindset similar to mine🔥👌🏿 help what u can control 💯
Great chemistry. Ariels a man of the fighters
this guy oozes confidence, one of the scariest ufc fighters in the world
Chito favourite fighter at the moment, stylish and fan friendly knockout artist what more could u want? 👊
I've followed him since his 1st ufc fight, we chatted a bit on dm , my wife's from Ecuador too , he's a hard worker and very focused 👊
Him and Bobby Green are two of the realest people in the UFC.
Kevin Holland as well
Chito spittin out Life, fight, and relationship advice all in one Ariel segment. He really does think before he speaks.
Gotta love Chito! Such a great guy!
Your path to Gold just got much more defined !
chito is the most aware present fighter in the ufc. any matchup, with the level he is at will be absolute fireworks
Chito is keepin it real, gotta respect the man. F*ckin warrior in the cage and as personality 💯
I absolutely love Chito’s mentality 💪🏼
Can't wait to see Vera become champ!
Would love to see Vera vs Yan, i think those two are the class of the division
That scooby doo family picture just made me a Chito fan! I liked him before, but now I’m rooting for him. Gonna be tough to beat OMalley though…that length is gonna be a problem for the division
Marlon Vera is very wise with amazing mindset
14:38 chito made me spit my drink out 😂😂😂
The MMA Decisions portal has published the refereeing scores of popular American sports publications. It turned out that the employees of all 26 publications, like Sherdog and ESPN, gave the victory to Petr. 19 analysts gave the victory to Yan with a score of 29-28, and the other seven - with a score of 30-27.
Damn, not one for Suga. It's all for the hype.
Crazy how none of them were at the fight, and scored it live.
Marlon Vera is the man🥊🥊🥊🇻🇪💯
I just wanna see Yan Vs Chito! Let’s go! 💪🏾
Really wanne see him fight petr yan main event! Would be a absolute banger 💫
Cejudo clearly deserves the title shot. Vera needs 1 more elite win. Yan is the best in class but keeps getting robbed and Suga clearly showed he isn't ready for Aljo on the ground.
My man,. Down to earth. ¿See what getting hit less looks like?
What a great guy
Chito always looked to me like a run of the mill Cholo Gangster . lol Such a scary dude . Great Fighter, cool dude . Can't wait to see him fight again !
Such a good mindset
I'd love to see a Vera vs Yan fight someday.
