UFC bantamweight contender Marlon Vera has parted ways with long-time head coach Jason Parillo. The decision follows a four-fight losing streak for Vera, who has not secured a victory since August 2023. Vera stated the move was an attempt to change his approach after failing to secure favorable outcomes in several recent close decisions. Despite the split, both parties maintained a positive relationship without any internal conflict. Vera is currently training with his new camp ahead of his upcoming bout against Charles Jourdain at UFC 331, which is scheduled for September 19, 2026, at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The fighter is currently working alongside bantamweight prospect Raul Rosas Jr. as he looks to return to the win column.
