Sean O’Malley was forced to leave the octagon on a stretcher for the second time in his career Saturday at UFC 252. This difference for O’Malley this time, however, is that he came out of the fight on the losing end. O’Malley (12-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) suffered an apparent leg injury in the early stages of his bantamweight co-main event with Marlon Vera (16-6-1 MMA, 10-5 UFC), which took place at UFC Apex in Las Vegas, and ultimately lost by fist-round TKO , as “Suga” could not hold off the onslaught Vera rained down on the mat.
