Sean O’Malley is defending his UFC Bantamweight title this weekend against the only guy who managed to beat him. The man in question is Marlon Vera who’s famous for being one of the toughest fighters in the division.
Before Betting on Sean O’Malley vs. Marlon Vera 2
Sean O’Malley lands 7.25 significant strikes per minute, which makes him the seventh-best striker in the UFC. He’s got a knockout-to-win ratio of 70%, but the trouble is that this weekend, he’s fighting against a fighter who’s never been finished.
Chito Vera has eight losses in his portfolio, but each of those happened after five rounds. This includes his most recent loss – against Cory Sandhagen – who beat him by a split decision.
Vera too is famous for landing a huge volume of punches and kicks in every fight, but unlike O’Malley, he also gets hit a lot. In three of his last four fights, he got hit 100+ times. In one of those – against Rob Font – he absorbed 271 strikes but still ended up winning that fight.

Our prediction is that the Sean O’Malley vs. Marlon Vera 2 fight is going to be a real war with both fighters throwing all they’ve got at one another.
Fighting for 25 minutes is something O’Malley has never done, which is why we suspect that he might gas out in the final round, which would allow Vera to land some devastating strikes. He might not finish him this time as he did four years ago, but we think he stands a very good chance of winning by decision.
Pick: Marlon Vera (+250)
