UFC bantamweight contender, Marlon "Chito" Vera and former bantamweight champion, Dominick Cruz, are set to clash at a yet-to-be-announced UFC Fight Night event on August 13.
ESPN Deportes' Carlos Contreras Legaspi was the first to report the news of the matchup being in the works, although the promotion has yet to officially confirm anything regarding the event or booking. Vera is 4-1 in his last five Octagon outings and will look to build on a unanimous decision win over Rob Font at UFC Vegas 53. Cruz meanwhile is riding a two-fight winning streak currently and is coming off of a unanimous decision victory over Pedro Munhoz at UFC 269.
