The Bantamweight division is probably the most loaded division in the UFC, with Sean O’Malley as the undisputed champion. O’Malley last fought and beat up Marlon Vera in a rather impressive manner throughout five rounds in the main event of UFC 299.
The striking specialist made it clear a few weeks back that he wants to be an active champion in the company and recently opened up about the possibility of being featured in the UFC 306 in the near future.
