Tonight, he will try to prove that this defeat was a coincidence.<\/p>\n<p>O&#39;Malley (17-1) will defend his UFC bantamweight championship for the first time when he meets Vera (23-8-1) in the main event of UFC 299 at the Kaseya Center in Miami .  O&#39;Malley lost via TKO in 2020 after a nerve in his right foot became numb following a Vera kick.  O&#39;Malley credited Vera for landing the kick, but always maintained it was not a &#8220;real&#8221; loss due to the rarity of the nerve problem.<\/p>\n<p>Both bantamweights have since enjoyed much success.  O&#39;Malley won the 135-pound championship last August by knocking out longtime champion Aljamain Sterling.  Vera is 5-2, with victories over several former champions in Frankie Edgar and Dominick Cruz.<\/p>\n<p>Also on the schedule, lightweight veteran Dustin Poirier will make his 30th appearance in the Octagon, facing French newcomer Beno\u00eet Saint Denis;  Kevin Holland faces Michael &#8220;Venom&#8221; Page in Page&#39;s UFC debut;  Gilbert Burns aims to stop the rise of Jack Della Maddalena;  and Song Yadong looks to surpass former bantamweight champion Petr Yan.<\/p>\n<p>Follow Brett Okamoto, Marc Raimondi, Jeff Wagenheim and Dre Waters recapping the action or watch the fights live on ESPN+ PPV.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"module-iframe-wrapper \">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"arena-liveblog-iframe\" height=\"2000\" width=\"100%\" class=\"frame iframe-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/go.arena.im\/embed?publisher=espn-69077&amp;event=RoWPy0Z&amp;v=2&amp;theme=light\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"false\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"false\" mozallowfullscreen=\"false\" and=\"\" scrolling=\"no\" seemless=\"\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFC 299 Sean O&#8217;Malley vs Marlon Chito Vera live results and analysis\u060c Brett Okamoto Close Brett Okamoto ESPN Editor MMA columnist for ESPN.com Analyst for &#8220;MMA Live&#8221; MMA covered for Las Vegas Sun Marc Raimondi March 9, 2024, 10:43 p.m. Nearly four years ago, Sean O&#39;Malley suffered the only loss of his career and it [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":30147,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[727,11559,120,6243,11561,242,7295,228,11560],"class_list":["post-30146","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-sports","tag-analysis","tag-chito","tag-live","tag-marlon","tag-omalley","tag-results","tag-sean","tag-ufc","tag-vera"],"blocksy_meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30146","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=30146"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30146\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30148,"href":"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30146\/revisions\/30148"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/30147"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=30146"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=30146"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=30146"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
