The UFC heads over to Boston, Massachusetts on Aug 19 for UFC 292 which will be headlined by two title fights. The Main Event will see UFC bantamweight champ Aljamain Sterling defend his title against Sugar Sean O’Malley.
The co-Main event will see UFC strawweight champ Weili Zhang defend her belt against Amanda Lemos. UFC 292 will also see the return of former middleweight champ Chris Weidman who will take on veteran Brad Tavares.
Aljo Promises Sugar Free Environment
Aljo has told the media that this will likely be his last fight at bantamweight as he wants to beat Sean O’Malley and then move up to featherweight to challenge Alexander Volkanovski. Aljo came up with a good promo when he said on one of the UFC Embedded episodes that in his last championship fight he took on Triple C and made him Double C and now will make the UFC Sugar free!
Aljo goes into this fight supremely confident that he has the better wrestling skills but needs to be careful as O’Malley is one of the best strikers in the bantamweight division.
If Aljo does win, will he hold on to the bantamweight belt and try to become double champ at featherweight or will he relinquish his belt, so his friend and training partner Merab Dvalishvili can have a crack at it?
