Marlon Vera is not one to make excuses following his defeats.

Vera is coming off a unanimous decision defeat to Jose Aldo in their bantamweight clash at UFC Vegas 17 last month. Despite having his moments, he was largely outclassed by the former featherweight champion.

And for that, Vera blames nobody but himself.

“I believe, when you lose, there are a million things you can make up. You can make up a million excuses,” Vera told MMA Junkie. “I tried just to see the realistic (reasons) why I (lost) or what I could’ve done better. I believe coming into the third round, I was too excited. I was so sure I was about to finish him in a really spectacular way that I came in too heavy.

“… It’s my fault. There is no coach to blame. There are no teammates to blame. … I don’t want to erase this memory because that’s what’s going to get me through the next things. I’m going to use that chip on my shoulder to not overcommit or get too excited. I went for the kill and got stuck in a weird position. (Expletive) happens.”

Of course, one fighter who took pleasure in seeing Vera lose was Sean O’Malley.

O’Malley suffered his first professional defeat to Vera after a first-round TKO defeat in their UFC 252 co-headliner in August. However, “Sugar” — whose foot was injured during the bout — has since maintained that he’s still undefeated and has taken various shots at Vera who he believes won by a fluke.

O’Malley would also later claim he had no interest in a rematch with Vera either unless he went on a winning streak.

Vera, however, isn’t too bothered by O’Malley. And if he does end up facing him again, he believes it’ll just be a repeat of the first meeting.

“Everybody’s always got something to say,” Vera added. “What can we do about it? There’s nothing you can do about it. I won’t lose time arguing with a (expletive)(expletive). What I can do for sure is kick his ass – again. I’m not looking to fight nobody. I’m just looking to fight whoever the (expletive) UFC puts in front of me.”

Sean O’Malley has shut down talk of a potential rematch with Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera.

‘Suga’ suffered his first and only career defeat against Vera at UFC 252 back in August. O’Malley ate a low leg kick early and never really covered. ‘Chito’ swarmed with nasty ground and pound before the referee stepped in to save the young prospect from suffering a vicious knockout.

O’Malley has been very vocal about the loss being something of a fluke and insisted he is a much better fighter despite losing on the night. Vera has since gone on to suffer a decision loss at the hands of former featherweight champion Jose Aldo. The Ecuadorian has spoken recently about not wanting to rematch O’Malley who has now done the same.

“For me to rematch (Vera), he’ll have to be on a win streak. It’ll have to make sense,” O’Malley said on his YouTube channel.  “I feel like I’m just a different level fighter. That would be like fighting someone backwards.”

“He said there’s not enough money in the world to fight me again,” O’Malley added. “But dude, if he loses another fight and he’s like, ‘I want to fight Sean.’ He’s about to be Chito ‘Prelim’ Vera.” (Transcribed by MMA News)

Bantamweight prospect ‘Suga’ Sean O’Malley was quick to chime in after seeing his rival Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera suffer a decision defeat against former featherweight king Jose Aldo in the UFC Vegas 17 co-main event.

After an even first two rounds, Aldo was able to dominate the final stanza with his wrestling, riding the back of his opponent for the entire five minutes before being awarded 29/28 scorecards by all three judges.

The fight was Vera’s first since handing O’Malley the first loss of his career at UFC 252 back in August. For those that don’t remember, O’Malley ate a leg kick and never really recovered before Vera stopped him with ground strikes in the first round of their highly anticipated match-up.

Since then O’Malley has refused to accept defeat and even gone as far as declaring himself 12-0. Vera has attempted to distance himself from talks of a rematch with “cry baby” O’Malley.

So, it was no surprise when Vera suffered defeat O’Malley was ready to rub salt into the wounds of his former foe. ‘Suga’ took to Twitter to make a couple of posts in the aftermath of Vera’s decision loss – check them out below.

UFC bantamweight contender Sean O’Malley suggested YouTube star Jake Paul could knockout former 135lb champion Cody Garbrandt, something the former champ did not take lightly.

Garbrandt took to Twitter calling Paul a “reckless talking cunt” for taking jabs at Nate Diaz on the website.

Garbrandt’s remarks about Paul opened the door for Sean O’Malley to take a jab at the former UFC bantamweight champion,

Garbrandt took exception this, responding with ““You are the softest dude on the roster, wait you’re still are on the roster right?! Drink some more milk kid maybe one day you can fuck with the big dawgs.” – Garbrandt wrote.

Now O’Malley responded asking Garbrandt for a fight with him in the octagon. Cody Garbrandt quickly accepted and added that he would have a stretcher waiting for O’Malley.

While Garbrandt is gearing up for his Flyweight debut and a potential title fight with Deiveson Figueiredo, a fight down the line between O’Malley and Garbrandt certainly seems to be a realistic possibility in the future. An O’Malley-Garbrandt bout would certainly be headline worthy and a major fight for the promotion.

Do you think we’ll see Cody Garbrandt and Sean O’Malley fight in the Octagon? When will it happen? How do you think it will play out?
