While Ecuadorian UFC title challenger Marlon “Chito” Vera was in Florida fighting for the bantamweight championship this past weekend, burglars took advantage of his absence as they broke into his home and allegedly got away with “material things.”

Maria Paulina Escobar, wife of the UFC bantamweight, revealed the news of the crime on Instagram.

“They broke into our house. Though they are material things, they are things that have been bought with a lot of effort and hard work. But hey, these types of things happen and the truth is, tonight will be a good one. Tonight, the gold belt (as Eli calls it) will be ours. God with us and to the person who did it. I really hope he needed the money for something important. Much love.”

Marlon Vera: “I’m gonna find you”

Marlon Vera, who wasn’t as understanding as his wife, took to social media to issue a warning to the crook.

“The fucking asshole that broke into my home I’m gonna find you,” Vera wrote.

That’s fucked

Ahead of the title fight, Vera was the only one to ever defeat Sean O’Mally. However, in the rematch in Miami, “Sugar” looked sharper than ever as he put on a clinic over five rounds to defend his title.

Vera put up a solid fight, but had no chance against the defending champion who used his footwork and range to land a crushing amount of strikes.
