"You've got to win the fights in the UFC, but you have to look good doing it. To look good doing it you need a really good dancing partner and I think Marlon is someone who always puts on great fights. I'm hoping that me and him have a historic moment this weekend."
"I prepared myself for a war. I don't want it to have to be a battle of attrition. I'd love to outplay him, that's my goal, outplay him, outclass him, but if it has to be a battle of attrition I want to be the last man standing,"
"He's been in a lot of wars. Chins don't improve, they get worse over time. I have some of the best defensive skills in the UFC history, and I'm hopefully going to show that defense wins fights."
Aiemann Zahabi requested Marlon 'Chito' Vera for his UFC Vancouver bout to keep momentum, extend his win streak, and pursue a statement victory. Zahabi aims to both win and look impressive by facing a high-level, entertaining opponent who consistently produces exciting fights. Zahabi prepared for a war but prefers to outplay and outclass Vera rather than engage in a prolonged battle of attrition. Zahabi emphasizes top-tier defensive skills as a route to victory and notes that opponents' durability diminishes over time. Zahabi intends to be the last man standing if the fight becomes a war and hopes for a historic moment.
