Did not have time Sean O'Malley to win the UFC bantamweight championship belt, as he already began to throw out challenges. In particular, Sean, in his usual manner, challenged Marlon Vera. Sean offered "Chito" to fight at the December tournament.
“Chito Vera won? Won bored? Most likely yes. I'll kick his ass in Vegas in December at the T-Mobile Arena! Let's go, baby!" O'Malley said.
It is worth noting that Vera also took part in the 292nd tournament, defeating Pedro Munoz by decision of the judges.
