Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera is accusing Sean O’Malley of greasing forward of their UFC 299 title battle in Miami.
On Saturday (March 9), O’Malley delivered a dominant efficiency in his first protection of the bantamweight world title, scoring a unanimous determination victory over the one man to have bested him contained in the Octagon.
Vera gave the impression to be humble in defeat, providing no excuses for his efficiency and displaying confidence in his means to bounce again. Nevertheless, all of that appeared to vary when ‘Chito’ accused O’Malley of greasing. For these unfamiliar, greasing is when a fighter makes use of a substance that makes himself slippery — an unfair benefit in a sport the place grappling and controlling your opponent’s physique is a vital facet.
“Who braid your hair @SugaSeanMMA you the place grease to the bone I ponder how a lot gel they use?” Vera wrote on X.
Typically, when one fighter accuses one other of greasing, it’s as a result of they had been unable to safe takedowns and even get their fingers wrapped round an opponent. Apparently, ‘Chito’ by no means as soon as seemed to take issues right down to the bottom in opposition to O’Malley of their rematch. In keeping with the official stat sheet, he by no means tried a takedown, not to mention secured one, and clocked zero management time.
Sean O’Malley snaps again at ‘chito’
Responding to Vera’s accusation, Sean O’Malley requested ‘Chito’ Vera ahead him an image of his mangled face.
“Ship pic of your face,” O’Malley responded.
Vera has but to answer O’Malley’s request, however loads of battle followers had been prepared to present the champ a serving to hand, posting a picture of Vera’s face after consuming 230 important strikes over the 25-minute affair.
With their sequence formally tied at 1-1, maybe we’ll see a trilogy battle between the 2 bantamweight stars. However for now, Vera will return to the drafting board after failing to go again residence with gold wrapped round his waist.
