Sean O'Malley Reacts To Henry Cejudo vs. Chito Vera UFC 292 Booking

The "Sugar" show offers an early prediction.

Sean O'Malley has shared his take on the scheduled UFC 292 matchup between Henry Cejudo and Marlon "Chito" Vera.

Cejudo is fresh off a failed bid for a second run with the UFC Bantamweight Championship. He dropped a split decision against Aljamain Sterling at UFC 288 back in May. "Triple C" has now been booked to fight "Chito" on August 19. With that said, Cejudo isn't sure if he'll be healed in time for the event.

During episode 112 of the "BrOMalley Show," O'Malley expressed his belief that Cejudo is quite the task for Vera.

"I didn't know if it was gonna happen 'cause I thought if 'Chito' comes out and fights like he fought against Cory, he's gonna get ― and this is a three-round fight," O'Malley said. "'Chito' usually comes on tougher in the later rounds. Henry looked good against Aljo. He didn't gas. It's not like Henry's gonna go out there and gas against 'Chito.'"

The "Sugar" show went on to give his early prediction for Henry Cejudo vs. Marlon Vera.

"Frankie Edgar took 'Chito' down and laid on him," O'Malley said. "Ended up getting finished late in the third round, obviously. But he was able to take him down and control his hips and not really let him do much from there. So, if I had to guess right now, early prediction, I think Henry gets the job done."

Sean O'Malley is set to headline UFC 292 in the biggest fight of his pro MMA career. He'll be challenging Aljamain Sterling for the 135-pound gold inside TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts.
