With Aljamain Sterling’s successful defense of the UFC bantamweight championship on Saturday night, the stage has been set for a clash between the ‘Funk Master’ and colorful fan-favorite ‘Sugar’ Sean O’Malley.
Sterling once again walked away with a win by the skin of his teeth, securing a debatable split decision victory over returning Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo at UFC 288. Following the announcement, Sterling was joined by Joe Rogan who then welcomed Sean O’Malley into the cage. Stepping into the Octagon for a face off, the two men took a series of profanity-laced digs at one another that had the entire Prudential Center enthralled.
