The stacked UFC bantamweight division has booked a fight between Sean O’Malley and Marlon Vera. The newly ranked O’Malley is fresh off of his win against former WEC bantamweight champion Eddie Wineland. Vera’s last fight, on the other hand, was a highly controversial decision loss against Song Yadong which broke Vera’s five-fight win streak.
