Marlon Vera, known as “Chito,” caught attention during UFC 313 fight week.
In a video that quickly spread online on Friday, Vera was seen working on his red truck when a man allegedly approached him with a knife, attempting to rob him in his driveway. The UFC bantamweight fighter then quickly got into his vehicle, pulled out a shotgun, and the alleged robber immediately ran away.
Many fans on social media platform X commented that the event seemed staged. According to reports, the video was indeed a “skit,” as stated by someone familiar with the situation.
Vera’s last fight was in August against Deiveson Figueiredo, which he lost by unanimous decision. He is scheduled to compete against Mario Bautista at UFC Des Moines on May 3.
