Sean O’Malley suggests interim title fight with Marlon Vera in Aljamain Sterling’s potential absence

Sean O’Malley has called for a bantamweight rematch with Marlon Vera. Only this time, UFC gold will be on the line.

‘Suga’ called for an interim title fight with ‘Chito’ while reigning UFC bantamweight champion and top ten pound-for-pound talent Aljamain Sterling takes some time off to recover following his most recent title defense and TKO victory over T.J. Dillashaw at UFC 280.

O’Malley lost to Vera via injury TKO in 2020 and believes now would be the perfect time for both fighters to run it back, with the winner being declared interim bantamweight champ and going on to fight Sterling in a potential title unification bout.
