‘How Much Gel They Use’

Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera is accusing Sean O’Malley of greasing forward of their UFC 299 title struggle in Miami.

On Saturday (March 9), O’Malley delivered a dominant performance in his first defense of the bantamweight world title, scoring a unanimous determination victory over the one man to have bested him contained in the Octagon.

Vera gave the impression to be humble in defeat, providing no excuses for his efficiency and displaying confidence in his capacity to bounce again. Nonetheless, all of that appeared to alter when ‘Chito’ accused O’Malley of greasing. For these unfamiliar, greasing is when a fighter makes use of a substance that makes himself slippery — an unfair benefit in a sport the place grappling and controlling your opponent’s physique is a vital side.

“Who braid your hair @SugaSeanMMA you the place grease to the bone I’m wondering how a lot gel they use?” Vera wrote on X.

Typically, when one fighter accuses one other of greasing, it’s as a result of they have been unable to safe takedowns and even get their fingers wrapped round an opponent. Curiously, ‘Chito’ by no means as soon as seemed to take issues all the way down to the bottom towards O’Malley of their rematch. In accordance with the official stat sheet, he by no means tried a takedown, not to mention secured one, and clocked zero management time.
