Sandhagen: "Vera was like a punching bag in his fight with O'Malley."

Top UFC lightweight fighter Corey Sandhagen shared his impressions of the fight between the champion in his division, Sean O'Malley, and Marlon Vera.

"This fight really disappointed me because first of all, it wasn't competitive. Second, I feel like a fool because I expected Vera to perform better. Third, it's not that great that Marlon got the chance at all.

O'Malley is great, but Vera was just a punching bag. Vera's movement was terrible. He was completely adjusting to his opponent. Marlon is not so good at all to be in the top and is among the main contenders," - quotes Sandhagen MMA Junkie.
