Jordan Ellis: I’m backing Sean […]

Jordan Ellis: I’m backing Sean O’Malley to keep this train rolling. However, I don’t think it’ll be as easy as he anticipates. ‘Suga’ will likely need all three rounds to outpoint Marlon Vera and emerge victorious via the judges’ scorecards.

Prediction: Sean O’Malley

Abhinav Kini: Marlon Vera is Sean O’Malley’s biggest test yet and I expect this to be a competitive affair. That said, Vera will likely stand with O’Malley who is a superior striker in my eyes. I can see “Sugar” getting the decision but it would be some statement if he became the first to finish Vera and that’s what he seemingly plans on doing with a knockout prediction.

Prediction: Sean O’Malley

Ryan Maccarthy: I personally think O’Malley is too big of a betting favorite at -310 here. Marlon Vera is extremely dangerous. This fight will determine if the Suga Show is still a young prospect or a true contender in the Bantamweight division. He’s got a lot of attention and hype coming into this fight, rightfully so. Im going to take O’Malley via KO in the 2nd round.

Prediction: Sean O’Malley

Harry O’Connor: I’m becoming more and more invested in Sean O’Malley; I think he has a good attitude and every time he fights he just adds another carriage to the hype train. A win over Marlon Vera would prove to me he is the real deal. However, Vera is now pushover, he’s never been finished so for O’Malley to do that might be a bit of a reach. I’m going to go with O’Malley on points.

Prediction: Sean O’Malley

Former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Miesha Tate believes Sean O’Malley has all the makings of a superstar and with good reason.

O’Malley continues to rise in popularity as well as the rankings ahead of his bantamweight co-main event meeting with Marlon Vera at UFC 252 this Saturday.

Vera is undoubtedly the toughest fighter he will have faced in his career. With “Sugar” predicting another knockout victory, he will certainly have more believers and shut the doubters up further if he continues at this rate.

And for Tate, O’Malley is a perfect representation of the evolution of the sport.

“He’s one of those guys — he’s the next generation,” Tate said on Fight Nation. “He’s putting more into it than just ‘train harder not smarter.’ That was the old school way to do it. Everybody just trained and fought every day. You see the evolution of the sport continue to grow and I think that Sean O’Malley is that next step.

“He’s the next level. He’s figuring it out. He’s meditating, he’s probably doing yoga, doing all these extra things that are just helping him be a complete person and a complete different kind of fighter.”

Why Is O’Malley So Popular?

Despite it being just his fifth fight in the UFC, O’Malley has already been given a co-main event spot in what is one of the biggest cards of the year.

It’s a testament to just how popular he has become since debuting for the promotion in 2017. But what is the reason for his popularity? The knockouts and undefeated record certainly help, but Tate believes there are other factors.

“I just think he’s unique,” Tate explained. “He has a refreshing fighting style. He fights with careless abandonment, yet he’s calculated and he has a system to the madness. But he’s unpredictable and he’s fun and he can knock people out and he has great interviews and he stands out. I mean, his hair, his tattoos, his personality — he just feels like somebody you want to be invested in. Right? Somebody you want to care about. And people do.

“And he’s fun and he’s exhilarating, and he’s all the things that you would want in a potential star. I think that’s what we see in the making here, that’s what makes him so interesting,” Miesha Tate concluded. “I’d like to see him continue to climb the rankings. Especially if he goes 6-0 which is not an easy thing to do in the UFC at all. He’s undefeated, 12-0 and people love him. He’s got a catchy name, he’s got a refreshing fun style of fighting. He’s just a fun fighter to watch.”
