Marlon Vera inflicted Sean O’Malley’s first-ever defeat.
The pair of bantamweights met in the co-main event of UFC 252 on Saturday night. It was an even contest on the feet for the most part, however, O’Malley ended up injuring his ankle which led to his demise.
After falling down as he advanced forward, O’Malley was met with ground and pound by Vera with the referee eventually stopping the contest.
