LANGUAGE WARNING: Bantamweight champion Sean O'Malley and challenger Marlon Vera didn't mince words at the ceremonial weigh-in for UFC 299.

UFC 299 live updates: Sean O’Malley vs Marlon Vera start time, blog, Dustin Poirier vs Benoit Saint Denis, full fight card resultsUFC bantamweight king Sean O’Malley is looking to continue his rise to superstardom on Sunday when he defends his belt against Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera in the UFC 299 main event.

Order Now with Main Event on Kayo Sports. Main Event on Kayo Sports and Foxtel is the new exclusive home of UFC Pay-Per-View events! This time around though O’Malley’s stocks are on the rise and Volkanovski is tipping the ‘Suga Show’ to flip the script and hand Vera his first-ever knockout defeat.“On paper and what I’ve seen, who do I lean towards? I lean towards Sean O’Malley, pretty comfortably I’d say that,” Volkanovski said on his YouTube channel.

“... I think it’s going to be a finish for Sean O’Malley. It could be a submission, but I think it’s going to be a TKO because even if he hurts him and takes him to the ground, I can’t see him looking for a submission.”Elsewhere, the co-main event at UFC 299 sees Dustin Poirier look to vault himself back in title contention as he takes on rising French star Benoit Saint Denis.

Poirier understands the risk he is taking on Sunday, telling reporters earlier in the week that a dominant victory could put him one fight away from a title shot.“If it’s a big finish or something like that, I believe I’m a win away from a title shot with a great performance. But it rights the ship. It gets me back in the win column. We take it from there.
