Former UFC lightweight champion Aljamain Sterling made it clear that he doesn't consider Sean O'Malley 's win over Marlon Vera a complete title defense.

"Yeah, you won, but you beat the guy you were supposed to beat, we all expected that. It's hard for me as a champion to give credit for that because I just can't show a lot of respect for that. What are you talking about, man, you defended the belt against a guy who's not even in the top five.

They moved Vera into the top five to make this fight look better. Like he was fighting a top five opponent. How did Marlon move up in the rankings? Who did he beat to move up in the rankings?" - Sterling stated in a fresh edition of the author's YouTube channel.

As a reminder, O'Malley defeated Vera by unanimous decision on March 9 in the main event of UFC 299 in Miami, USA.
