The bantamweight department formally ends up being the Suga Show when Sean O’Malley will make the walk to the Octagon as champ for the very first time versus Marlon “Chito” Vera in the UFC 299 centerpiece.
That walk will be a little a full-circle minute in O’Malley’s UFC profession. If you rewind back to 2020, O’Malley was a budding star with a fast 3-0 start in the UFC that consisted of 3 efficiency bonus-winning efficiencies and knockout wins over Jose Alberto Quinonez and Eddie Wineland.
Came Vera and a sharp stop to the O’Malley buzz train. Vera scored a first-round TKO win over O’Malley which called into question whether O’Malley would end up being a championship-level fighter at the time.
He’s considering that responded to that concern with a definite yes. He has actually swindled 5 successive wins, consisting of the second-round TKO win over Aljamain Sterling to end up being champ at UFC 292.
Now he gets a possibility to legitimize his champion and avenge the only loss of his profession.
Here’s a take a look at the total battle card and all the information you require to capture the battle.
