Under the tutelage of coach Henri Hooft, Vera had trained alongside ONE Championship stars and forrmer world champions Aung La N Sang and Martin Nguyen in preparation for his much-awaited comeback in the Circle.
“Making this move to Sanford MMA and making this commitment, it’s taken a lot of stress away from me as an athlete,” Vera, who holds a 16-8 record, told ONE Championship.
“I can just concentrate on being a student of the game and trying to catch up to everyone else in the room. I don’t have to worry about anything. I just have to make sure that I can finish practice and that I’m being a good training partner.”
