Sean O’Malley had to bid farewell to his undefeated streak at UFC 252 as he got knocked out by Marlon Vera in the first round.

The fight has already been a matter of debate. While many cited it to be the end of O’Malley’s hype, there are several who feel that the ‘Sugar Show’ will continue. That said, O’Malley still bills himself to be an undefeated prodigy. No matter what his critics claim, ‘The Sugar Show’ is still up and running.

Sean O’Malley discredits Marlon Vera’s win

Although O’ Malley has accepted his defeat, he believes ‘Chito’ Vera got lucky with the win at UFC 252. Since the loss, Sean O’Malley has hesitated to credit Vera for his performance. The rising American star turned to social media once again to analyze his defeat.

“Did he win? Yes. Am I undefeated? Yes. Mentally, I didn’t lose s***. I was dominating the fight. I felt superior in there and killed my foot. It gave out. I might sound stupid, but that’s okay. Because look at me,” Sean O’Malley said.

Well, that might influence a re-match between the bantamweight prodigies. However, it is too early to predict such a happening.

If not for the rematch, ‘The Sugar Show’ can possibly pave a comeback against some of the biggest names in the current roster. O’Malley has already been called out by several opponents following his recent loss. Despite that, he is one of the most exciting prospects Dana White has ever come across. It is seemingly a matter of time until we see him back.

What’s next for O’Malley?

Sean O’Malley needs a couple of wins to earn back the respect of the fans. The 25-year-old is already a rising superstar and is garnering attention with whatever he does.

The loss should not hurt O’Malley’s stock as he is a credible knockout artist with a long way to go. He was even compared with elite bantamweights like Cody Garbrandt before his misfortune at UFC 252. The “Sugar Show” is still relevant in the title race, at least that’s what O’Malley believes.
