UFC 299: Sean O’Malley vs. Marlon Vera 2 full fight video highlights and results
In the main event of UFC 299 at the Kaseya Center in Miami, O’Malley (17-1), the reigning UFC bantamweight champion, will step into the octagon to defend his title for the first time against Vera (23-8-1). This highly anticipated rematch comes after their last encounter in 2020, where O’Malley suffered a TKO loss due to a nerve in his right foot going numb from a devastating leg kick delivered by Vera.
Despite the setback, O’Malley has always acknowledged Vera’s skill in landing the decisive kick. However, he has consistently emphasized that the unusual nerve issue clouded the legitimacy of his defeat. Now, with the championship belt on the line, O’Malley seeks redemption and aims to prove his resilience in the face of adversity.
