UFC bantamweight Sean O’Malley wants to rematch Marlon Vera before he fights for the 135-pound title.
‘Suga’ predicts a title shot by ‘early 2023’ but, before that, the No. 13-ranked bantamweight must first get past Pedro Munhoz in July, and then, if everything goes according to plan, he will ‘Chito’ Vera in December.
“Two more finishes — early 2023, I’m fighting for the belt, whoever has it. I think after this fight, I go out there, I’ve got to finish Pedro — and I go out there, let’s say I finish Pedro, I get a top-5 guy, whoever that is.
