“There is still a fight with Sean O’Malley,” MMAJunkie quotes the “Triple Crown Champion”‘s statement. “I still don’t think he will beat Cheeto. We could potentially be headlining the event with him.”
If Sean O’Malley successfully defends his flyweight title against Marlon Vera on March 9 at UFC 299 in Miami, Sejudo is poised to move up to the lightweight division and face his former teammate Brandon Moreno.
“There is a fight with Brandon Moreno. We have a history – two former teammates who had a dispute and there was a breakup. We could have a good Mexican fight for the fans.”
As a reminder, former UFC flyweight champion Brandon Moreno will headline UFC Fight Night 237, which begins in a few hours in Mexico City, with former title challenger Brandon Royval as his opponent.
