Marlon Vera changes training staff ahead of UFC 331 bout
Summary

Marlon Vera has parted ways with longtime striking coach Jason Parillo as he seeks to end a four-fight losing streak. Vera confirmed the move was amicable but necessary to address his recent performance struggles in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. He has transitioned to a new team structure that includes training with Raul Rosas Jr. and rehiring his former wrestling and kickboxing coaches. The group is currently operating out of Vera's own gym. This roster shift precedes his upcoming fight against Charles Jourdain scheduled for September 19 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
