The main event sees Ecuadorian challenger Marlon Vera face American champion Sean O’Malley in a fight for O’Malley’s bantamweight belt. This is O’Malley’s first title defense, and he has to do it against the man who has given him his only UFC loss. That fight was back at UFC 252 in August 2020, and both fighters have grown in the three and a half years since. “Chito” is tough and durable, so O’Malley must use his accuracy and technique to avoid an upset defeat.
The co-main sees veteran Dustin Poirier taking on up-and-coming star Benoit Saint-Denis. Saint-Denis won his last match with a ridiculous head kick against Matt Frevola, boosting his reputation even more in the process. This five-rounder will set the shape of the lightweight division over the rest of 2024.
