Marlon Vera has alleged that Sean O'Malley’s head was “extremely greasy,” making it tough for him to get a hold of “Sugar” during their bantamweight title fight earlier this month.
O’Malley thoroughly outclassed “Chito” in the main event at UFC 299 on March 9 to successfully defend his title via unanimous decision.
“Chito” claims there were other factors at play behind him not being able to turn the bout into a dogfight. According to the Ecuadorian, O’Malley’s braided hair was too greasy for him to get a hold of in the clinch.
