Rising star Sean O’Malley just booked a third fight for 2021, and is set to face off with Raulian Paiva at UFC 269

Sean O’Malley (14-1) came into the UFC off the Contender Series with a lot of hype and took little time to capitalize on it, racking up four straight wins and two highlight reel knockouts. Though he was given his first defeat by Marlon Vera from a leg kick injury, he has rebounded with two straight knockout wins since.

Raulian Paiva (21-3) started his Octagon career at Flyweight, but moved up in his last appearance after bad weight misses. He is 3-2 under the promotional banner and occupies the #15 ranking at Bantamweight.

The pair will duke it out on the main card of UFC 269, set to go down on December 11th.
