Dillashaw compared Vera to a punching bag in his fight against O'Malley

Former UFC flyweight champion T.J. Dillashaw reacted to the outcome of the fight between Sean O'Malley and Marlon Vera.

"I'm a big fan of Marlon as a person and personality. I have experience training with him, he's a great person and a tough fighter. So I really wanted Marlon to win. But I realized that Sean O'Malley would win, he's improved a lot lately. And Sean was so fast that Marlon was going for every feint. Sean has done a very good job on his feints. Look at all those little moves, those micro-movements, he changes levels perfectly and just confuses him to then calmly punch him combinations. Every time he did that, Marlon would try to overlap, block the punches, then throw himself at O'Malley. Vera was just being a punching bag," Middle Easy quoted Dillashaw as saying.
