Triple Take: Was Marlon Vera’s UFC 252 win legit given Sean O’Malley’s injury?

Sean O’Malley headed into his UFC 252 bantamweight fight against Marlon Vera undefeated – and a heavy favorite of more than 3-1. But he suffered a leg injury in the fight, soon succumbed to a Vera TKO, and had to be wheeled from the cage on a stretcher.

So the question is, was Vera’s win a fluke because of the injury? Or had he put himself on a path to win the fight, regardless? After all, UFC analysts were touting him as a “live underdog” all week. MMA Junkie writers Mike Bohn, Simon Head and Danny Segura debate the outcome in this edition of Triple Take.
