Sean O'Malley, the new UFC bantamweight champion, explains why he challenged Marlon Vera immediately after the victory over Aljamain Sterling.
“He pisses me off. He is not funny, although he tries to look like that. He's such a freak, he dresses like an idiot. I'm like, "God, do I really have to give this guy a title shot?" But then I answer myself: “I’ll just go out into the octagon, kick his ass and make a lot of money,” Sean said.
Recall that O'Malley finished Sterling in the second round of the UFC 292 main fight and became the promotion's new bantamweight champion.
