Supposedly, two fighters actually facing one another in the cage should be the end of any beef between them. What more cathartic way to work through any issues than punching a foe square in the face? Sometimes, however, a fist fight is just the beginning. And for Marlon Vera, his 2020 win over Sean O’Malley has only seemed to build more bad blood between the two men—largely due to O’Malley’s unwillingness to accept the idea that he actually lost in any way other than on paper.
Their sustained mutual dislike came to a head once again over the holiday season, when O’Malley posted a video of a recent trip he took to his local Walmart—where the UFC fighter handed out cash to unsuspecting shoppers in a show of Christmas charity.
