At the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts, Sean O’Malley beat by OK to aljamain sterling in the main event of UFC 292, in what was a memorable night for mixed martial arts. Sterling, the defending champion, put his title on the line against his fellow American, albeit to no avail after he was stunned by a second-round knockout. Minutes after his victory, the new bantamweight champion issued a challenge to Ecuadorian Marlon Vera, whom he challenged for a fight in December in Las Vegas.
