Sean O’Malley has broken his silence on his UFC 252 loss to Marlon Vera.<\/p>\n

In the co-main event of the card, O’Malley was looking to remain undefeated when he took on Vera. It was an intriguing matchup with “Sugar” telling BJPENN.com before the fight he expected to get another first-round knockout<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Yet, that is far from what happened as Vera hit O’Malley with some leg kicks<\/a>. Sugar’s ankle then rolled multiple times and he fell to the ground and “Chito” finished it off via TKO<\/a>. For O’Malley, in just a few minutes in there, he knows he is better than Chito.<\/p>\n

“Walked out, everything felt good, got in there. I was in front of him, and I\u2019m like, in my mind, I\u2019m like, this is easy. He\u2019s slow, he can\u2019t hit me,” Sean O’Malley said on his podcast<\/a>. “You can\u2019t hit me, and you can\u2019t take me down. I didn\u2019t think he was going to be able to take me down because he was so slow.”<\/p>\n

According to Sean O’Malley, he is frustrated with what happened due to the fact he doesn’t view Marlon Vera as good. His humbled Instagram post<\/a> was also a joke as he says he is far from humbled.<\/p>\n

“We picked the date, we picked the time, and we both walked out. It doesn\u2019t matter what the f**k happens. Whoever wins, how it happens, however they win, wins. He won. It sucks for me, because I lost to someone who I look at as not very good,” O’Malley said. “I look at him, and I\u2019m like, he\u2019s not that good. And I f*****g lost to him. That\u2019s what\u2019s the most frustrating thing. Losing to someone I\u2019m better than. That humble post was a f*****g joke. So for everyone commenting stupid s**t, I\u2019m not humble.”<\/p>\n

Although Sean O’Malley lost the fight, he doesn’t take too much stock into it. Instead, he knows by the way Vera celebrated, this was going to be Chito’s biggest win of his career. For himself, he remains adamant he will be a world champion.<\/p>\n

“Let\u2019s look at his career in five years, let\u2019s look at mine. I\u2019m going to be f*****g world champion, he\u2019s going to be a f*****g journeyman,” O’Malley concluded. “That\u2019s just what his style is. He wins some, he loses some. He\u2019s slow, but he\u2019s gritty, so he\u2019s going to be able to finish some people after they beat him up for a while. The way his pace was, super slow like that, and I was exploding into shots, I wasn\u2019t gonna get tired and I was just gonna beat his a*s.”<\/p>\n
