“I watched two minutes of his fight with Pedro and I knew I was going to knock this dude out. That's all I needed to see. The coach watches the fights and shows me clips all the time, but I just watched two minutes and realized that I would knock out Marlon. That's all I need to know.
I'm better than this guy. I’ll do what I planned to do in the first fight—I’ll put out his light. Faith is strong and very persistent, but it won’t work against me. It is not enough to simply be strong and steadfast. I believe that I have more weapons in my arsenal, I am faster and more accurate,” Sportskeeda quotes O’Malley.
Let us remember that O’Malley and Vera have already met in the Octagon. Their first fight took place in August 2020 and ended with the Ecuadorian winning by technical knockout in the first round.
