The Real Winners and Losers From UFC 299
There are fight cards. And then there are big fight cards.
The UFC's visit to Miami for a Saturday night pay-per-view show at the Kaseya Center near the banks of Biscayne Bay is most certainly an example of the latter.
The 14-bout show is laden with familiar names from top to bottom, particularly in the five-bout main portion that's packaged at UFC 299 and will go live at 10 p.m. ET.
Bantamweight champ and rising "it" guy Sean O'Malley will try to defend the title he won last summer, and the man he'll meet just happens to be Ecuadorian favorite Marlon "Chito" Vera, who handed O'Malley his only pro loss when they met five years ago at UFC 252.
