Social media reacts to Sean O'Malley's dominant title defense vs. Marlon Vera in UFC 299 rematch

Sean O’Malley’s title reign got off to a positive start Saturday when he avenged his sole career loss against Marlon Vera in the UFC 299 headliner.

After suffering a first-round TKO loss to Vera (21-9-1 MMA, 15-8 UFC) in August 2020 that he never felt was a true defeat, O’Malley (18-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) wiped the slate clean on the biggest stage possible with a unanimous decision victory to defend his bantamweight title for the first time against Kaseya Center in Miami.
