Marlon
Vera doesn’t want to live with regret, but admits his coaching
change was a tough decision.

Vera (23-12-1) is scheduled to fight Charles
Jourdain (18-8) on Sept. 19 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
The former title challenger recently revealed that he is no longer
working with his longtime striking coach Jason Parillo. He claims
the split was amicable, but something had to change to halt his
losing streak in the
Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Marlon Vera explains why he left Jason Parillo before UFC
331

Vera says it was hard to part ways with Parillo as they didn’t have
any problems with each other since initially linking up in 2018.
“Chito” didn’t want to get to the end of his career and wonder
whether it would’ve played out differently if he had made the
change.

“I was trying to figure out what I need, what is not getting me to
win these close decisions,” Vera told Ariel Helwani. “It was a
pretty hard decision because we didn’t have a problem or nothing
bad happened. I was just like, what can I do moving forward to give
myself a chance to kill this bad streak? And I just told myself, ‘I
don’t want my career to go to the very end and then question what
if I had made a change.’”

Vera has now joined the team of fellow UFC bantamweight Raul Rosas
Jr. Vera’s own gym is the base for the new team, with Rosas
Jr.’s father handling management. He has also brought back his old
wrestling and kickboxing coaches.

“Eventually, I kind of merged into Rosas Jr.’s team,” Vera added.
“And now we use my gym as headquarters for all of us… Right now,
his dad handles times and training. They already have a full team
— a kickboxing coach, a wrestling coach; both are from Russia. I
also brought back my old wrestling coach and kickboxing coach.”

Vera is now looking to end a four-fight slump at UFC
331.
