But I really believe with a solid win on this guy, I’m fighting for the belt. Regardless of all this hype thing – who has more views, who has less views – it doesn’t f*cking matter. You go in there and put the lights out, the views come your way.
Vera and Sandhagen will fight on Feb. 19 at UFC Fight Night 219.
Vera last fought against American Dominick Cruz this past August at UFC on ESPN 41. In this confrontation, Marlon won by knockout in the fourth round. He has 20 wins, seven losses and one draw under his belt.
Sandhagen last fought in the UFC Fight Night 210 in September of this year against China's Song Yadong. That fight ended in favor of Cory by TKO in the fourth round. He has 15 wins and four losses under his belt.
