But back in 2020, O’Malley fought Vera at UFC 252 and was beaten via first-round TKO after sustaining a leg injury.
The two will now run it back with gold on the line, and Vera will be confident he can get the job done again.
The defeat was the first and only one of O’Malley‘s career, as he’s been flawless since.
Vera has won five of his seven fights since then and is looking to win a UFC championship for the first time in his long career.
