Prominent in the bantamweight (up to 61,2kg.) of Ultimate, Marlon Vera decided to criticize the organization's treatment of Sean O'Malley. Executioner of the company's young promise in 2020, the Ecuadorian suggests that his fellow category member has been 'protected' from major challenges in the organization. 'Sugar' has a fight scheduled and faces Peter Munhoz No. UFC 276.
“The UFC couldn't find a better fight for O'Malley in the top 10. They found the smallest guy, with the shortest reach. Everything is for the benefit'Sugar', because, even if he loses, he will find an excuse”, said Vera, in an interview with 'Food Truck Diaries'.

Although he made public his opinion about the way Sean is treated by Ultimate, the Ecuadorian reveals that he doesn't care about the situation. The fighter, however, makes a point of remembering the episode in which he took away the company's pupil's invincibility.
“I beat him. When people talk to me about it, I say, 'I don't need that. I'm not looking for 'hype', I'm not looking for more followers. Not give a damn about'. I'm earning my money, I'm growing and I'm going after the belt. I'm not going after the 'hype'. I'm not trying to be cool, because I know I'm cool, I'm funny, I don't need to chase that. When you try too hard, you can’t do it”, he concluded.
Current number five in the ranking led by aljamain sterling, Marlon is having a great time in the UFC. The Ecuadorian has three consecutive victories and has a clash underway against Dominick Cruz for August 13th.
Criticized by Vera, Sean seeks to continue his climb towards the top of the bantamweight division. Today, the North American is 13th in the division. If you overcome Peter Munhoz, the combatant can assume the 10th position.
