The UFC’s bantamweight division continues to prove itself one of the most talented rich and exciting weight classes out there. There is an endless amount of entertaining and high-level matchups that could be made, such as February’s scheduled fight between Cory Sandhagen and Marlon Vera.
The winner of the matchup will set himself up for a potential title shot, most likely squaring off in a No.1 contenders match against Sean O’Malley.
O’Malley propelled himself to the top of the division following his win over Petr Yan back in October and now holds the division’s No.1 ranking. Talking on his podcast, O’Malley discussed the Vera vs. Sandhagen matchup and his future options.
“What’s going to happen? I don’t want to think too far into that,” O’Malley said. “Cejudo: ‘Marlon Vera is just a journeyman, not good enough to beat Cory Sandhagen.’ You know what, that’s not true. I used to call ‘Chito’ a journeyman, but that was before he beat all those good guys. I didn’t think ‘Chito’ was going to get as good as he did, but he’s gotten good. He’s gotten really good, and nothing but respect for him. I hope he beats Cory, and Aljo beats Henry, Aljo moves up to 145, and me vs. ‘Chito,’ July, massive fight, for the belt.” (H/T MMAFighting)
O’Malley seemed very keen for Vera to get the job done, acknowledging that the matchup has the potential to be a huge event.
“Either way, it doesn’t matter to me, as long as ‘Chito’ gets the job done,” O’Malley said. “I like Cory, but me vs. ‘Chito’ is a massive fight. Me vs. Cory anybody is a good sized fight. The biggest fight in the division is me vs. anybody, but me vs. ‘Chito,’ the people have been waiting for it, and it’s getting closer.”

Expected to challenge for UFC bantamweight gold in his next Octagon appearance, the current #1 ranked division contender, Sean O’Malley claims he can see a scenario in which the title is vacant this summer – before he lands a rematch with the surging Ecuador finisher, Marlon Vera.
O’Malley, the current number one contender in the promotion’s bantamweight pile, earned that summit with a close, split decision win over former undisputed champion, Petr Yan at UFC 280 on ‘Fight Island’ back in October.
Linked with an immediate title shot against division kingpin, Aljamain Sterling in his next outing, O’Malley is likely to sit in waiting as former two-weight champion, Henry Cejudo draws closer to snapping a three-year retirement from mixed martial arts competition.
Expected to remain sidelined and wait for his premier tilt at UFC gold, O’Malley, a product of Dana White’s Contender Series, laid out a potential scenario in which he has see himself featuring at an International Fight Week event this summer in a title rematch with Chone contender, Vera.
“Henry (Cejudo) [and] Aljo (Aljamain Sterling) [are] kind of lurking around over there,” Sean O’Malley told The Schmo during a recent interview. “If I had to guess what’s taking so long, Aljo’s over thee in Jamaica, you know, doing his thing. And Henry seems like he’s ready to go. He may be 5’3”, but he’s ready to go.”
“So I’m curious when that fight plays out – I’m hoping the sooner the better for me because that means I get to fight sooner,” Sean O’Malley explained. “I’m taking the winner of those two – unless Aljo goes up to 145 (pounds), ‘Chito’ (Marlon Vera) beats Cory (Sandhagen) – vacant belt. ‘Sugar’ versus f*cking ‘Chito’, July, International Fight Week.” (Transcribed by Middleeasy)
First meeting Vera back in the co-main event of UFC 252 back in August 2020, O’Malley suffered the sole professional loss of his career, dropping a first round ground strikes TKO loss to Vera after suffering drop foot earlier in the round.
In the midst of a stunning four-fight winning streak which includes stunning knockout wins over former champions, Frankie Edgar, and Dominick Cruz, Vera is scheduled to headline a UFC Fight Night event on February 18. next against division tactician, Cory Sandhagen.
