Marlon Vera defeated Sean O’Malley at UFC 252 again in Aug. 2020.
“Chito” will look to make it two-zip towards “Suga” — and seize the bantamweight crown within the course of — after they run it again atop the UFC 299 pay-per-view (PPV) occasion, locked and loaded for this Sat. night time (March 9, 2024) at Kaseya Middle in Miami, Florida.
This time, they’ll have an additional two rounds to settle the rating.
The promotion just lately launched the complete video replay of their first go-round, which now you can watch within the embedded video above. O’Malley blamed a wonky foot for his UFC 252 efficiency and later petitioned the Suga State Athletic Fee to overturn his loss.
Now he’s undefeated (in his thoughts).
“I received the battle,” Vera advised ESPN. “Say no matter you need. Cry all you need. I don’t give a f*ck about your emotions. It looks as if I received the battle, proper? He’ll say he received and the athletic fee scored it for him, I don’t know. However the matter of reality is that the data say I received and I used to be paid double [show money and win bonus]. He can preserve crying.”
“I believe it was a best-case state of affairs — me dropping in a fluke approach,” O’Malley responded. “I didn’t get pushed too quick after that. If I’m going on the market and beat Chito in 2020, who was subsequent? Would I’ve been prepared for what was subsequent? This battle slowed my profession down. Had I beat Chito, I wouldn’t have fought Thomas Almeida subsequent, and that battle is certainly one of my favourite knockouts. A large, viral knockout.”
