UFC 292 results: Aljamain Sterling vs. Sean O'Malley live highlights [UPDATED]
It's a big fight feel in Boston, as the UFC returns to the city for the first time since late 2019 with UFC 292, featuring two title fights and some intense bad blood.
In the main event, Aljamain Sterling will look to make another defense of the UFC bantamweight championship when he faces the challenge of Sean O'Malley.
Sterling, who has won nine straight, will be looking for his fourth successful defense of the gold. Though he won the title from Petr Yan under dubious circumstances at UFC 259 — becoming the sole UFC fighter in history to win a title via disqualification — he has retained against Yan, T.J. Diillashaw and Henry Cejudo.
O'Malley has won four of the five fights he's had since suffering his sole defeat. He won his most recent fight, defeating Yan via a controversial split decision at UFC 280 in October. With a win, O'Malley would join Jamahal Hill as the only fighters from Dana White's Contender Series that have gone on to become UFC champions.
The co-main event will see Weili Zhang defend the UFC women's strawweight championship against Amanda Lemos. This will be Zhang's first fight since regaining the title with a submission win over Carla Esparza at UFC 281. Lemos enters this bout with a 7-2 Octagon record, scoring a finish of Marina Rodriguez in her most recent fight, which came one week prior to Zhang's title win.
This story will be updated live throughout the night.
