Two of the UFC’s most divisive fighters collide tonight as Aljamain Sterling takes on Sean O’Malley in the main event of UFC 292.
Wrestling expert Sterling will defend his bantamweight title in the highly anticipated bout as the Jamaican American looks to build on wins over Peter Yan, TJ Dillashaw and Henry Cejudo – all former champions.
Meanwhile, O’Malley has become a fan favorite due to his amazing shot and confidence in him, and his profile has undoubtedly given him a title shot. However, the American beat former champion Fei Yan last year, albeit in a controversial decision.
In the co-main event, two-time strawweight champion Zhang Weili defended her title against Amanda Lemos.
