During UFC 299, a notable moment occurred when Sean O'Malley landed a significant knee strike on Marlon 'Chito' Vera. Despite the powerful impact, which was described by onlookers as sounding like a metal baseball bat hitting, Vera astonishingly absorbed the blow without going down, eating it like an animal. This event sparked widespread admiration for Vera's resilience, with many commenting on his seemingly legendary chin and questioning how he is still alive and how he managed to take such a hit that would likely have knocked out other fighters in the bantamweight division.
