Sean O’Malley Calls Out Marlon Vera, Latter Says he Will “Murk” Rising Star

Sean O’Malley

By FCF Staff

Sean O’Malley recently relayed that he’s interested in fighting Marlon Vera, and the latter is clearly on board with the proposal.

During a recent episode of Brendan Schaub’s “Food Truck Diaries“, O’Malley expressed an interest in fighting the bantamweight, who is coming off a tightly contested, decision loss to  Song Yadong (quotes via MMA Junkie).

“If I fight ‘Chito’ who’s not ranked, they kicked him off the rankings, it’s like I still have options,” O’Malley said. “He’s good, he’s a black belt in jiu-jitsu. I think he beat Song Yadong, so I think he’s on a six-fight winning streak with five finishes. He finishes people in the later rounds. He’s tough, he’s got good cardio, so yeah it’s up to the UFC.

“You know how it is, you can have two guys say they want to fight and they don’t fight. That’s just how it is. So that’s an option in August, so that’s what’s probably next but I don’t know if he has any injuries or anything.”

In addition, O’Malley (12-0) also issued out this challenge via Instagram, in which Vera (15-6-1) was quick to respond to.
