Marlon Vera vs Sean O'Malley
Sean O’Malley and Marlon Vera are two of the biggest bantamweights on the UFC roster right now. These two came face to face against each other back in 2020, and a foot injury helped Vera hand, O’Malley, his first career loss.
Sean claimed Vera had nothing going on in that fight, and if it wasn’t for that foot injury, he would have easily knocked him out. Sean radiates a superstar’s aura, and his flashy style helped him become one of the biggest superstars on the roster. He is on a three-fight win streak, and he knocked all of them out.
O’Malley was accused of not facing top-ranked contenders, but he was pretty clear on not facing them until the UFC renegotiates his contracts, but it seems like things have changed, as he is all set to face Pedro Munhoz at UFC 276.
Marlon Vera, on the other hand, faced former champs, and the elites of the division. He is also on a three-fight win streak, and he demanded a title shot after his last win over Rob Font.
“Early 2023, I’m fighting for the belt”- Sean O’Malley lays out his future plans
O’Malley talked about his future during his appearance on The MMA Hour, he said right now he’s focused on Munhoz, but he’d love to get his revenge against Marlon in the near future. He said, “Two more finishes, early 2023, I’m fighting for the belt, whoever has it. I think after this fight, I go out there.”
He added, “I’ve got to finish Pedro, and I go out there, let’s say I finish Pedro, I get a top-5 guy, whoever that is. Depending on if ‘Chito’ gets a fight booked, I know that’s a fight that I want I don’t know if he’s going to get a fight booked. I’m assuming. He seemed like he wants to fight again. If he goes out there and wins, that could be another fight, maybe December time frame.”
“We’ll see. I was kind of hoping Rob would win that fight, because I wanted to fight Rob, but he didn’t obviously. So yeah, I think Pedro, depending on if ‘Chito’ goes out there and beats someone in the top five, he probably can get a title shot. If he doesn’t end up getting a fight, I would like finish Pedro and get that fight, and we’ll see,” O’Malley concluded.
