As the saying goes, Saturday night’s alright for fighting! We got ourselves a very exciting title fight at UFC 292 that will be blowing the roof off the TD Garden in Boston on Saturday night as Aljamain Sterling does battle against No. 2 ranked contender Sean O’Malley for the UFC Bantamweight Championship.
How we got to Fight Night:
Sterling comes into the fight with a 23-3 record and defeated Henry Cejudo back at UFC 288 to retain his championship.
