I\u2019m feeling ready,\u201d Vera told MMA Junkie and other reporters during Wednesday\u2019s media day. \u201cMy body is healthy and more than anything, all these changes that I have done, it\u2019s not like I\u2019m going to learn 30 more techniques, or I\u2019m going to learn this. There\u2019s not really secrets in the game, right? But what I definitely did was bring back weapons that I used to use in the past, like bring more of my kickboxing, not just heavy pressure with big hands. At the end of the day, I was very successful with what I was doing in the past.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s why I have never blamed, and I never will blame a coach or a training partner for my failure. I always, as a man, and as a man that works as a team, when I win, we all win. When I lose, we all lose. So for me, it was just more about OK, I tried really hard to make this work, now I\u2019m falling short. Myself, I\u2019m falling short. So what I can do now to improve, to get out of this hole, and I can only try, right? So, I bring back old coaches, I joined forces with the Rosas, and Saturday night is the ultimate test. Whatever I did, whatever I say, doesn\u2019t matter. On fight night, I will see myself what I got.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Quotes via <a href=\"https:\/\/mmajunkie-eu.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/ufc\/2026\/09\/17\/ufc-331-marlon-vera-ultimate-test-losing-skid\/91808505007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">MMA Junkie<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Can Chito get it done?
