Overwhelmed in UFC debut
BantamweightUFC
February 17, 2024
Vera lost to Rinya Nakamura via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC 298 on Saturday in Anaheim.
ANALYSIS
By far the largest underdog on the card at +800, Vera did well to see the final bell. His entire offensive arsenal consisted of grabbing a hold of Nakamura's leg and hoping some type of submission developed. It did not. Vera still gets a pass here given he was going up against one of the sport's best prospects in his UFC debut, as well as the fact he took this fight on short notice. That said, at age 36 and with just one knockout victory in 15 professional fights, it's nearly impossible to believe Vera will have any sort of sustained success during his time with the company.
