In a highly-anticipated rematch at UFC 299, Sean O’Malley delivered a dominant performance against Chito Vera, ultimately declaring himself unbeaten despite the official 1-1 record against his opponent. O’Malley jokingly referenced the Sugar State Athletic Commission taking away his previous loss to Vera, confidently stating that he is 1-0 in their matchups.
The bantamweight fighter expressed his belief that the first fight was a fluke, showcasing his improved skills and determination in the most recent bout. O’Malley lamented his inability to finish the fight within the five rounds but was nonetheless declared the clear winner against Vera.
Looking towards the future, O’Malley is setting his sights on facing either featherweight champion Ilia Topuria or No. 1 contender Merab Dvalishvili in his next fight. The charismatic fighter remains unfazed by criticism from his detractors, including Vera, who had made disparaging remarks leading up to the rematch.
With this convincing victory, O’Malley has proven to the world that he is a force to be reckoned with in the octagon, solidifying his status as a top contender in the bantamweight division. Stay tuned for updates on O’Malley’s next moves and potential matchups as he continues his rise in the UFC ranks.
