Alexander Volkanovski sees Sean O'Malley avenging his loss to Marlon Vera by finish.
Bantamweight champion O’Malley (17-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) rematches Vera (21-8-1 MMA, 15-7 UFC) for his first title defense in Saturday’s UFC 299 (pay-per-view, ESPNews, ESPN+) main event at Kaseya Center in Miami.
Vera was able to finish O’Malley in their first fight in August 2020 after kicking him in his peroneal nerve and finishing him on the ground. However, former featherweight champion Volkanovski thinks O’Malley’s striking is far superior than Vera’s.
