UFC bantamweight contender Sean O’Malley would like to run it back with Marlon Vera.<\/p>\n

‘Suga’ and ‘Chito’ clashed back at UFC 252 in August 2020. O’Malley entered the bout as a somewhat unproven prospect, and Vera was supposed to be the biggest test of his career. It would be a test that he didn’t pass, mostly due to an injury.<\/p>\n

Late in the first round, Vera landed a leg kick that injured O’Malley. As a result of the injury<\/a>, Sean went down and was hit with a few more shots before the bout ended. The fight was ruled a TKO, with Vera handing O’Malley the first loss of his young career.<\/p>\n

Since that bout, both men have shown they’re two of the best\u00a0bantamweights<\/a> in the world. Now two years removed from the contest, Sean O’Malley has confirmed that he would like to face Marlon Vera again soon. The 27-year-old discussed a possible rematch on The MMA Hour<\/a> with Ariel Helwani.<\/p>\n

Sean O’Malley trolls UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

“In the past, I’ve said that he needs to earn a rematch, I think he’s done that. He went out and lost to Jose Aldo. Went out there and lost to Frankie Edgar, he basically lost to Frankie. He lost 13 minutes of a fight, he did finish Frankie. [But] two more minutes and he loses that, but he did knock him out.”<\/p>\n

Sean O’Malley continued, “He went out there and he looked good against Rob [Font], he looked impressive and looked like he definitely improved. I don’t know how he didn’t finish him, he dropped him like 13 times. He’s definitely proved that he’s earned the rematch. People hate when I say that, but it’s true.”<\/p>\n
