Sean O’Malley returns to the Octagon to face the one man who has been able to shut him down, Marlon Vera.

Flamboyant superstar O’Malley is the new Bantamweight Championship title holder following a destructive display against Aljamain Sterling last August.

O’Malley is hot property in UFC, though Vera is a man with plenty of know-how when it comes to putting him on the canvas.

Vera toppled O’Malley in 2020, but the latter will be determined to make amends in this rematch showdown.
