Sean O'Malley

Sean O'Malley is the guy who actively promotes the ideals of pop MMA in professional MMA, and for this, the UFC league enjoys the exclusive favor of its chief. Empathetic behavior outside the octagon, smoking something incomprehensible right during training, painted head - very few such characters in the world sport. Moreover, the spectacular style of fighting in the standing position and the non-standard and beautiful technique of punches and movements all together explain the presence of a huge army of fans and the promotion policy.

The highlight of Sean's career was the fight with Petr Yan. The Russian was a strong opponent for O'Malley then, and experts said that a fight with him would give Yan another chance to fight for the belt. No one doubted the Russian's victory, but things did not go according to plan - Sean O'Malley gave the best fight of his career, fought desperately, especially in the third round, and the judges gave him a split decision victory. But the American lost the first two rounds, so this fight is still considered one of the biggest upsets in the league.

Marlon Vera

Marlon Vera is an unremarkable fighter, the so-called middleweight of the UFC, and his main achievement is that he inflicts the only defeat on the current champion. The Ecuadorian didn't have any big wins. His victories over 42-year-old Frankie Edgar and 38-year-old Dominick Cruz, legends already flying off the fairgrounds at the speed of an express train, were not considered big successes.

Vera lost to top competition (he lost to Song Yadong, Jose Aldo, and Cory Sandhagen), but we note that most of Marlon's victories have come early, and he wins with equal success by knockout and submission.

Expert Betting Tips

O'Malley will move unpredictably (he can do it perfectly) and beat his opponent from a distance. He already has experience in big fights (Petr Yan and Aljamain Sterling are more dangerous than Marlon Vera), and he knows how to defend himself from takedowns. If the intelligent American does not find the right moment to knock out his opponent (as he did against Sterling), he will win on points.
