Landing undisputed bantamweight gold last night in the main event of UFC 292, newly-minted division champion, Sean O’Malley has already set his sights on his first target, calling for a hasty rematch with fellow card winner and former-foe, Marlon Vera at UFC 296 in December.

Headlining his first pay-per-view event under the banner of the promotion, surging striker, O’Malley clinched the undisputed bantamweight crown with a spectacular second round finish of the dominant defending champion, Aljamain Sterling.

Managing to avoid takedown attempts from the Uniondale wrestling ace throughout a cagey first round, O’Malley dropped the defending bantamweight champion with a massive counter right straight early in the second round, faceplanting Sterling before following up with well-placed ground strikes to earn his bantamweight title victory to a raucous reception at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts.

And following his title-clinching win, Montana native, O’Malley, who was urged to first defend his title against either streaking contenders, Merab Dvalishvili, or Cory Sandhagen, however, issued a direct call out to Ecuadorian contender, Vera – whom is the sole professional to defeat O’Malley throughout his career.

“I said going into this fight, it only takes one mistake against me,” Sean O’Malley told Joe Rogan during his post-fight interview after UFC 292. “I don’t even know if that was a mistake – I’m just that f*cking good. This is just the beginning of the ‘Suga’ era, I’m running this sh*t until 2035, baby. Did ‘Chito’ (Marlon Vera) win? Was it boring. Probably. I’ll whoop ‘Chito’s ass in December in Vegas at T-Mobile. Let’s f*cking go.”

Himself opening the main card of UFC 292 last night in Boston, Massachusetts, Vera managed to turn in a unanimous decision win over common-foe, Pedro Munhoz in a tightly-contested matchup.

And immediately reacting to a call out for a title rematch with O’Malley, Vera appeared to accept a December turnaround at UFC 296.

“Take a seat kids,” Marlon Vera posted on his official X account. “(Money bag emoji) Send me contract ok.”

Facing O’Malley in the co-main event of UFC 252 in the summer of 2020, Vera managed to hand the Dana White’s Contender Series veteran with a first round ground strikes TKO win at the UFC Apex facility.

What’s Next for Ian Garry and Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera?

With his win over Pedro Munhoz, ‘Chito’ Vera will likely find himself in line for a bantamweight title opportunity. It just so happens that will come against a man he has already faced and beaten before, Sean O’Malley.

‘Sugar’ shocked the world on Saturday night, defeating bantamweight great Aljamain Sterling with a stunning second-round knockout. Now sitting atop the 135-pound throne, O’Malley appears to be on a collision course with the only man to hand him a loss inside the Octagon.

Elsewhere, Ian Garry looks primed to take a stab at a top-ten-ranked welterweight contender after handily dispatching the No. 11 ranked Neil Magny. During his post-fight-interview with Joe Rogan, Garry called for a December clash with perennial contender Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson.

Aljamain Sterling and Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera delivered very different reactions to Henry Cejudo’s UFC 292 withdrawal.

After coming up short in his return to the Octagon against the ‘Funk Master’ in May, Cejudo was scheduled for a scrap with rising bantamweight contender Marlon Vera on August 19. Unfortunately, that bout is no longer on the cards after ‘Triple C’ announced his withdrawal due to a shoulder injury. “Unfortunately, I won’t be able to compete on Aug 19 at UFC 292,” Cejudo posted on Twitter. “I have a tear in my right shoulder that requires rehab. I wish I could’ve got in there w/ Chito, but I won’t be able to make a full recovery in time.”

Cejudo’s slated opponent was the first to react, delivering a brief but poignant six-second clip with two very simple words; “Well… F*ck.”

Aljamain Sterling Slams Henry Cejudo in Scathing YouTube Rant

Aljamain Sterling on the other hand was much more animated in his response to Cejudo’s withdrawal, calling the self-proclaimed savage nothing more than a “dirty little weasel.”

“Henry Cejudo is out of this fight. The savage. You remember that, guys? The savage? Texting Dana saying that, ‘If that little p*ssy doesn’t want to fight, I’ll take the fight,’ Sterling said on his YouTube channel. “Isn’t it funny how the roles are reversed now and this little savage is no longer a savage? Very interesting, and for me, I call that being a dirty little weasel” (h/t MiddleEasy).

‘Funk Master’ wasn’t quite done, taking one more dig at Cejudo.

“You look like an ass clown trying to pretend to be something that you’re not,” Sterling said.

Aljamain Sterling and Henry Cejudo previously squared off at UFC 288 on May 6 with the bantamweight world championship on the line. ‘Funk Master’ secured a split decision to retain his title leaving an understandably dejected Cejudo once again contemplating retirement. Less than 24 hours later, ‘Triple C’ opted to keep marching forward and accept another fight. He was ultimately matched up with ‘Chito’ Vera. Cejudo has also expressed an interest in facing Sterling’s close friend Merab Dvalishvili inside the Octagon.
