Sean O’Malley made his first bantamweight tittle defense against Marlon Vera in Miami at UFC 299 with a dominant performance in this 5 round cracker.
Chito took a real beating from his old rival but managed to stay on his feet in order to equal Jon Jones’s record of 23 fights in a row without being finished.

Sugar was so convincing in this bout that even one of the referees gave him a 50:44 in his scorecard.
After the fight O’Malley challenged Ilia Topuria to a fight in Spain. He wants to become a two division champion in under an year but El Matador advised him to focus on the number one contender in his weigh category – Merab Dvalishvili.
