Sean O'Malley is switching up the UFC champion’s look in his first title defense.
That’s right, the UFC bantamweight champion will be sporting pink and gold shorts instead of the traditional black and gold shorts worn exclusively by champions. The change was shared by O’Malley and announced by the promotion Tuesday on social media.
O’Malley (17-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) defends his 135-pound title belt this Saturday against Marlon Vera (21-8-1 MMA, 15-7 UFC) in the main event of UFC 299 (pay-per-view, ESPNews, ESPN+) at Kaseya Center in Miami.
