UFC bantamweight champion Sean O'Malley shared his expectations of the upcoming rematch with Marlon Vera, which will take place in March at UFC 299.
Recall, the first fight between O'Malley and Vera, held in August 2020 at UFC 252, ended with Marlon winning by technical knockout in the first round.
It's the perfect time for a rematch. I'm going to smoke this dude. I'm going to take this dude apart. That was so lucky. He's genuinely scared of me. I know you're watching 'Chito,' you know I'm way too fast for you. I'm going to piece him up.
