What UK time is UFC 299 tonight? Start time for Sean O'Malley vs Marlon Vera
Sean O'Malley will try to avenge the only loss of his career tonight when he rematches Marlon 'Chito' Vera at UFC 299 in Miami.
O'Malley's rise from a KO win on the Contender Series that had famous rapper Snoop Dogg out of his seat to becoming a world champion has been nothing short of incredible. 'Suga Sean' won the bantamweight belt last August by knocking out Aljamain Sterling and defends it for the first time tonight against Vera.
'Chito' has been fighting in the UFC for almost a decade and he silenced O'Malley with a stoppage win they first fought in August 2020. Vera is hoping history can repeat itself as he competes for a world title for the first time in his lengthy career. British standout Michael 'Venom' Page is also making his UFC debut tonight, so here's all you need to know about the fights...

Quotes corner
O'Malley: “I’m just going with the flow right now. I’ve learned firsthand when I fought Chito the first time that anything can happen. I always knew that, but nothing ever happened to me where it was real. Anything can happen, I’m not looking past him, but for fun, you want to say what happens in the next 5, 10 years? I’d love to never lose.”
Vera: “One of his main tools is getting in people’s heads. Good luck with that. I’m going to f*** you up. I’m prepared for Saturday night, so he’s trying to start things. He asked me if I was ready to lose the fight, he didn’t catch my answer. I would have loved the camera to catch what I said back to him, but they only got one side. My mind is in the right place and I’m going to kick his a**.”
