In this episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, featuring Marlon "Chito" Vera and Joe Rogan, JRE MMA Show #117 with Marlon "Chito" Vera explores chito Vera Details Gritty Rise From Ecuador Streets To UFC Stardom Marlon “Chito” Vera sits down with Joe Rogan to trace his journey from chaotic street fights in Ecuador and makeshift gyms to becoming a top UFC bantamweight contender. They dive into his early hardships, manipulative first coach, and the pivotal move to U.S. super‑camps like Jackson-Wink and his current team with Jason Parillo and the Mendes brothers. Vera breaks down his training philosophy—constant year-round work, running, sauna, recovery, clean nutrition, and mental toughness—as well as the dark side of MMA: brutal weight cuts, bad judging, cheating, and sketchy coaching/management. The conversation also explores psychedelics, hunting, tattoos, hip‑hop, and how staying grounded as a family man and immigrant fuels his ambitions to become UFC champion.
