Despite having some pretty big fights in their near future, Sean O’Malley and Ryan Garcia only seem interested in talking about each other.
This Saturday, March 9, ‘Sugar’ will put his bantamweight world title on the line for the first time as he meets the only man to have bested him inside the Octagon thus far, Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera. The fight will headline the promotion’s return to Miami for UFC 299 which also features a high-stakes lightweight clash between division fan favorite Dustin Poirier and rising contender Benoit Saint-Denis.
O’Malley’s fight with Vera hasn’t generated very many headlines in the weeks leading up to the long-awaited rematch.
