Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida, came alive with two of the crowd favorites sealing their victories at UFC 299. The co-main event saw Dustin Poirier knock the lights out of Benoit Saint-Denis in the second round. Later, in the headliner, ‘Suga’ Sean O’Malley scored a unanimous victory over Marlon Vera. Scores of fans and followers have been posting their congratulatory messages for the winners. Jake Paul and his elder brother Logan Paul joined a few in lauding ‘Suga’.

O’Malley and Vera are meeting for the second time. Four years ago, in Las Vegas, Nevada, the Ecuadorian mixed martial artist defeated the American via technical knockout. With tonight’s win, the 29-year-old MMA fighter has evened the record.

The fact that all five rounds went in favor of ‘Suga’ Sean O’Malley seemingly left Jake Paul astonished. Wishing the UFC bantamweight champion for his successful title defense, Paul wrote, “5 ROUNDS TO 0: Congrats, Sean Young legend.”

The ‘Fight of the Night’ award went to the Dustin Poirier and Benoit Saint-Dennis duel. Alongside Jack Della Maddalena, Curtis Blaydes, Michel Pereira, and Robelis Despaigne, Sean O’Malley received the ‘Performance of the Night’ honor.

Brother Jake Paul, on the other hand, won another battle against a professional boxer last week in San Juan, Puerto Rico. After knocking out Andre August in the first round of their bout last December, ‘The Problem Child’ stopped Ryan Bourland in the opening round of their fight.
