UFC 292 has arrived with Aljamain Sterling and Sean O’Malley top of the billing this weekend.

Sterling arrives to defend his Bantamweight Championship belt for the fourth time after claiming it from Petr Yan back in 2021.

The 34-year-old successfully fended off TJ Dillashaw and Henry Cejudo in his last two outings, though he relied on a split decision to clinch the victory in the latter fight.

O’Malley has steadily climbed his way up the Bantamweight rankings for his first shot at a title. He toppled Yan to prove his credentials in late 2022 but has not fought since.

Fans across the globe will tune in to see whether Sterling can extend his record-breaking Bantamweight defence streak, or whether there’ll be a new top dog by the end of the night.
