Featherweight returned to monopolize the reflectors, but this time it was to boast on social networks of his training with the fighter of the UFC Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera and the coach Jason Parillo. In a story shared through his account on instagramwhere he has 8.8 million followers, ‘The Double P’ showed what was apparently a rest break after training.

In the clip you can see the singer of corridos lying down, obviously physically exhausted and saying in perfect English: “this guy is going to kill me”perhaps in allusion to the intensity of the training session which he carried out with a professional from the UFC like the Ecuadorian ‘Chito’ Vera.

The meeting between vera, barbecue and Hassan Emilio Kabande Laija it occurred in the USAspecifically in the facilities of the RVCA Gym in Costa Mesa in Californiawhere the South American fighter is training for a possible fight in August of this year, after a more than positive streak in his favor.

2021 ended with a spectacular KO against the legend Frankie Edgar and in 2022 he continued under the same dynamic with a couple of wins. Four in a row managed to line up vera and was named Latin fighter of the year for ESPN Knock Out.

For his part, the singer Featherweight is savoring the honey of success after the theme ‘She dances Alone’which has led him to be world number 1 on the platform Spotify. A few days ago, on May 30, she premiered a collaboration with the Argentine music producer bizarre.
