Sean O’Malley hopes the stars align and he rematches Marlon Vera – for the title. O’Malley (16-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) cemented himself as the No. 1 bantamweight contender when he edged out former champion Petr Yan at UFC 280. Vera has a big headliner against Cory Sandhagen (15-4 MMA, 8-3 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 219 on Feb. 18, and champion Aljamain Sterling is expected to defend his title against Henry Cejudo next. Vera (20-7-1 MMA, 14-6 UFC) is the only man to beat O’Malley with a finish over him by TKO at UFC 252.
