History suggests that the UFC will crown its first Ecuadorian champion on March 9.
The "Suga Show" era is among us as Sean O'Malley will kick off his title reign with a rematch against Marlon "Chito" Vera in the UFC 299 main event.
The two fighters initially met at UFC 252 in 2020 with Vera (23-8-1) winning by first-round TKO after O'Malley (17-1, 1 NC) suffered drop foot as a result of an absorbed leg kick.
