Dude seriously. He is different in every interview.

[@alcottdevalte7440]

This kid always nice, humble, polite and kind. He deserves a title shot next no matter what people think about it. A rematch would be a big, fun fight.

[@ztoronto5011]

O'Malley vs Sandhagen would be a sick striking match too

[@user-zo4iz2nv5u]

How does he deserve it? He hasn’t beat a single elite contender yet

I feel like if Chito were to become champ it’s kinda like Charles Olivera story. True vet always shows up , been through the ups and downs and never gave up for the gold 🏆 I’m rooting for 🇪🇨

There's literally 4 fighters in front of Vera for getting a title shot. Sterling, Merab, Sandhagen and Cejudo.

[@iamMattastic671]

Chito chill man

[@ulyssesshubeilat]

Imagine the UFC giving Merab the shot instead of Chito!no way Jose

[@zver09]

Why not? Merab truly deserves the title shot. He has a 9 win streak in UFC and his last fight against Peter Yang was total domination. Chito had weak fight against CORY

I like Chito and think he’s very good, but let’s not get it twisted. If he gets the title shot, it’s not because he’s due for it, it’s because Sean wants it.

[@DH-vy8hw]

He thinks he's the easier fight....poor guy!

[@chasindragons9919]

​@DH-vy8hw Considering chitos chin I'd say it's one of Sean's hardest fights if he actually shows up, if he just stands there like he did against cory then it's just gonna be a decision for omalley, like 350 strikes to 120 😂

[@einfachpaz310]

you haven`t seen Merabs video, where he wants Aljo to get the rematch and said he would wait for a year? Thats the issue. 🤓

[@theguvnor3880]

I like Chito but I'd like to see him have one more fight before the title. I feel like there is a mental hurdle he needs to overcome.

[@jrespace04]

brother he has a lot of fight till the title, he's just lucky that he got picked by the champion.

[@georgemiranda8761]

Was he lucky….or does Chito live in SUGA’s head 🤔

[@jrespace04]

@@georgemiranda8761 you a sheep my brother

[@tmac1616]

Think Sean wants to face a striker and not a grappler plus it would be the biggest of the potential fights that could be made.

[@insertcreativenamehere7377]

in a fair world it would be 2 or 3 fights. merab, cory, and aljo are far more deserving

[@coreyrice8607]

Chito is a bigger star the Suga. Dana just doesn’t know it yet!

[@silversharkc4666]

Chito lost to Sandhagen. He should focus on that instead of his win over O'Malley which was stopped due to an injury. Just think'n.

[@ForeverSculpting]

Why should he focus on a loss when he can beat up sean again and get the belt and championship money?

[@joev4643]

I mean he was more active in the early rounds. That’s his detriment

[@boogiemonster2038]

Stopped due to injury? Didn’t he damage Sean’s leg and then put him to sleep on the ground?

So sugar fought tomato cans all his fights not including chito and Yan and he got his shot, Chito has fought and beat legends, honestly Suga had all the Dana white privelage, let them run that back, if chito is an easy fight then let him get it

[@Avokeing]

@@xandercastille9164 chito is on a one fight winning streak against Munoz ,which was not very impressive if you ask me what is merab on like a 12 fight win streak ? Wb aljo arguably the bantamweight goat does he not deserve a rematch . Even sandhagenn ( whose injured ) . The only reason they want to give chito the fight is because it will sell and Sean has a good chance of winning . Chito needs another fight if you ask me

[@granescarabajo3900]

@@Avokeingit's very easy to google stats. Chito has won 12 of his last 14 fights, if you count his fight with Song Yadong that was clearly a robbery. His fight with Aldo was very close until the third round in which aldo grabbed his back and never let go, causing 0 damage. Excellent defense, never been knocked down after 30 fights, never receives much damage. So, you're pretty much just saying what you're saying because of the Sandhagen fight and that's it.

[@Avokeing]

@@granescarabajo3900 you can not count lost fights that were close or should’ve and could’ve been if we did everyone would get a title shot
