CHITO TIME!

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is just a couple of hours away from the upcoming UFC San Diego mixed martial arts (MMA) event, scheduled for TONIGHT (Sat., Aug. 13, 2022) on ESPN and ESPN+ from inside Pechanga Arena in San Diego, California. This weekend’s “Fight Night” event will be headlined by the bantamweight banger between rising 135-pound contender Marlon Vera and former division champion Dominick Cruz. “Chito” has been chasing down the blasé Cruz over the past several months (literally) and was finally able to pin down “The Dominator” for tonight’s “Golden State” showdown.
