Sean O’Malley will look to avenge his only professional loss when he defends his bantamweight title against Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera at UFC 299 on March 9. However, O’Malley doesn’t consider it to be a loss and claims himself to be undefeated despite the official statistics.
Sean O’Malley has reflected on his injured ankle during the fight and labelled the loss against ‘Chito’ as a misfortune. It remains to be seen what they have in store for the rematch in Miami.
UFC 299 is stacked with several more brilliant matchups. Ex-lightweight Interim champion Dustin Poirier will return against Benoit Saint-Denis after a crushing knockout loss to Justin Gaethje. Meanwhile, Michael ‘Venom’ Page will make his UFC debut against Kevin ‘Trainblazer’ Holland.
The entire PPV is built pretty well and is undoubtedly one of the best cards in recent times. After UFC Fight Night Rozenstruik vs Gaziev, UFC 299 will be the next event. Here’s everything you need to know about the Pay-Per-View.
