Former UFC champion in two weight classes Henry Cejudo shared his forecast for the announced title fight in the bantamweight division between the belt holder Sean O'Malley And Marlon Vera.
It was previously announced that the meeting between the American and the Ecuadorian will take place in March next year at the UFC 299 tournament. The exact date and location of the event have not yet been announced.
“I believe that Vera will defeat O’Malley due to the fact that he is stronger. Sean is not the guy who has been through all the trenches. He hasn't defeated the most powerful guys in the division. Yes, he has a controversial win over Ian, but I don’t think Shawn won then. He also has this win over Sterling when he accidentally caught Aljamain with a punch.
And I really believe that if Marlon can just stick to the same plan that was in their first battle, then the outcome will be the same,” MMA Fighting quotes Cejudo.
Let us remember that in August 2020, O’Malley lost to Vera by technical knockout in the first round.
