Sean O’Malley proposes interim UFC bantamweight title fight vs. Marlon Vera in March

Sean O'Malley wouldn’t mind fighting for an interim belt.

The UFC star and top bantamweight contender understands if UFC champion Aljamain Sterling decides to take his time before returning to defend his title once again. Sterling recently told MMA Junkie he “earned his time off” and doesn’t intend to fight again until mid 2023.

If that’s the case, O’Malley (16-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) would like to fight for an interim title while the champion sits out. And he thinks a rematch against Marlon Vera would be the ideal opponent.
