UFC 299 LIVE: Sean O’Malley and Chito Vera title fight goes all five rounds

The Independent  

✕ Close Francis Ngannou says Anthony Joshua was 'way better' during post-fight press conference Sean O’Malley avenged the only defeat of his professional career on Saturday, outpointing Marlon Vera to retain his bantamweight title at UFC 299. With the victory, O’Malley made his first title defence a successful one, having knocked out Aljamain Sterling to win the title in August. The standout moment of the fight saw O’Malley drill a knee into his challenger’s face in round two – a shot that the Ecuadorian somehow survived. Vera, 31, showed spirit to muster a decent spell of offence at the end of round three and early in round four, with O’Malley briefly retreating.
