Being one of the most unique individuals in the UFC, it's only fitting that Vera has an unusual form of self-expression.One commenter even compared his design to Conor McGregor's prominent chest piece of a gorilla. They wrote:&quot;Very McGregor-esque. Looks like same artist as Gorilla Tat.&quot;Scrivs@JScrivs303@btsportufc Very McGregor-esque.

However, the UFC bantamweight champ revealed that he's going to take time off after his recent title defense against T.J. Dillashaw at UFC 280. With that in mind, O'Malley revealed that he wouldn't mind fighting for an interim title for the time being.Who does O'Malley have in mind for a potential opponent? None other than his old foe Marlon Vera. On his YouTube channel, the top-ranked UFC bantamweight said:&quot;I get it, Aljo cuts a lot of weight. He’s probably already back up to 165,170, he’s probably like, ‘I don’t want to cut weight again in the next couple of months, I want to enjoy it.’ … He wants to wait eight months. I get it, I do, but say the No. 1 contender, ‘Suga’ Sean O’Malley is ready to go in March, and the next guy in line, in my opinion, should be ‘Chito’ [Marlon Vera]. He just beat Dominick Cruz, beat Frankie Edgar, beat some good guys.&quot;Catch Sean O'Malley's video below:Vera handed O'Malley his first loss at UFC 252 in 2020. However, the win was hollow in the eyes of many as O'Malley suffered a rare injury during the fight that caused his leg to stop functioning. Given how things are going, it wouldn't be a surprise if the two men end up meeting inside the octagon for bigger stakes.
