UFC 252 features a pivotal bout in the bantamweight division, as surging prospect Sean O’Malley looks to push his way toward title contention against the dangerous Marlon Vera in their 135-pound co-main event clash. O’Malley (12-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) has looked outstanding since emerging as a potential star of the future in Dana White’s Contender Series, and now the 25-year-old will look to move one step closer to the division’s big names with victory over Ecuador’s Vera (17-6-1 MMA, 9-5 UFC), who is looking to bounce back into the win column following his May defeat to Song Yadong at UFC on ESPN 8. Ahead of their bout, former UFC welterweight title challenger and UFC analyst Dan “The Outlaw” Hardy invites us into “The War Room” as he takes a deep dive into the matchup and offers his technical pointers ahead of the fight. Check out his pre-fight assessment via the video above. UFC 252 takes place Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN/ESPN+
