After getting his start competing in the TV series The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America, Chito Vera made his debut in the UFC in 2014. Nearly a decade later, the fighter has established himself as a powerful force to be reckoned with in the league’s bantamweight category.
Currently, Vera lives in Newport Beach, California, where he trains for his next bout. On Saturday, March 9, he’s set to face off against Sean O’Malley in a fight for the UFC Bantamweight Championship. Vera previously won against O’Malley in 2020 via TKO. The moment was a highlight of Vera’s career and marked O’Malley’s first and only professional loss to date.
When he’s not in the octagon, the fighter also has a penchant for collecting – mainly cars, sneakers and clothing. Among his favorite brands are Supreme and New Balance. Vera is also a major fan of Aimé Leon Dore, introduced to the brand by his close friend Action Bronson, and notes he “probably has every shoe” from them.
As he’s approaching the “biggest fight of his career,” Vera stays in the gym year round and any free time is dedicated to his family.

Love chito but it’s gay how he wears hype beast style clothing I couldn’t imagine paying that much money for supreme then give them free advertisement from wearing it.
Well done
Sean dresses like he’s going to a pride parade, chito dresses like he’s checking the mail. Can’t not love this guy.
This man is so cool
The dark horse !, chito got this
Spanto Lives
If he takes the Gold it will be hard for Contender to take it from him because his style, Chito has been a decade in UFC never been knocked never been finished.
Chitos black impala is sick. Hes the man.. lets go Champ
Valhallah
dude…. just looks like a dad if you miss the tattoos yet would destroy anybody dumb enough to test him…. awesome. Like a sleeper car
Parillo is is a real genius I think Chito has the skills and the grit to dig deep and take out that silly fake bad man Sean.
… chito > suga …
I can sense that the heart will and desire to win is stronger with Chito over Sean. Only time will tell the though

It is dishonest that the media pretend that Vera was going to beat O'Malley. After having so many loses this guy doesn't have what it takes.

Gotta lose that coach. Nobody is winning on his team. Lukes getting his teeth knocked out.
