Aljamain Sterling scorns Sean O'Malley at the ceremonial weigh-ins for UFC 292
Aljamain Sterling and Sean O'Malley confronted each other for the first time in a face-off at the ceremonial weigh-in for UFC 292. The intensity of the rivalry between the two fighters was palpable as 'Funkmaster' walked up to O'Malley and taunted him. Their much-anticipated bout has been brewing for the past few months, with its origins tracing back to the aftermath of Sterling's split decision win over Henry Cejudo at UFC 288.
After initial reluctance by Sterling to make another title defense, he finally agreed and will now lock horns against O'Malley at TD Garden Arena in Boston, Massachusetts on Sunday, August 20. The defending champion will be tested against the brilliant striking prowess of Sean O'Malley. The Jamaican\-American fighter has indicated that UFC 292 could be his last title defense at the bantamweight, irrespective of the result of the fight, as he intends to step up to the featherweight division and challenge the featherweight king Alexander Volkanovski.
