Sean O'Malley goes off on 'fake-ass b*tch' Marlon Vera for UFC 299 greasing accusation

Sean O'Malley went off on Marlon Vera for accusing him of greasing at UFC 299.

Bantamweight champion O’Malley (18-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) avenged his loss to Vera (21-9-1 MMA, 15-8 UFC) by battering him for five rounds in their title fight earlier this month in Miami. Vera said fighting O’Malley was “like grabbing a fish out of the water” during Monday’s episode of “The MMA Hour” and accused him of putting something in his hair.

Who braid your hair @SugaSeanMMA you where grease to the bone I wonder how much gel they use ?

O’Malley fired back by saying Vera’s claim is irrelevant. “Chito” attempted zero takedowns, so the fight played out predominantly standing.

“I don’t get the whole ‘Chito’ thing,” O’Malley said on his “TimboSugarShow” podcast. “Everyone seems to love this dude. The motherf*cker is a fake-ass b*tch. ‘Chito’ sucks. F*ck him. I know sh*t that people don’t know that would change their minds on him, but I’m not going to go out there and post it.

“The DM sh*t was real. I was in his f*cking head. I was his brain. I was thinking for him. F*ck that guy. Then he comes out saying I’m greasing my hair. You didn’t even get close enough to smell my hair, let alone – what was grease in my hair going to do?”

There’s no indication as to what O’Malley is referring to when it comes to Vera’s personal life, but he refrained from elbaorating. The pair mentioned that DMs were exchanged during fight week.

“I’m just like, ‘Be the bigger man. You don’t need to ruin his f*cking life. You already ruined his career,'” O’Malley added. “Just be the bigger man.”
