Marlon Vera thinks the UFC is trying to protect Sean O'Malley.
O’Malley (15-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC), who hasn’t lost since getting stopped by Vera at UFC 252, has knocked out his past three opponents. His impressive run has led to a matchup with perennial contender Pedro Munhoz (19-7 MMA, 9-7 UFC) in July at UFC 276.
Although Vera (21-7-1 MMA, 11-6 UFC) respects Munhoz, he thinks the UFC purposely offered him to O’Malley because of his significant height and reach disadvantage.
