Aljamain Sterling Raves About Sean O’Malley’s Featherweight Potential: ‘He Would Have Success’

After surrendering his bantamweight title to Merab Dvalishvili late last year, ‘Sugar’ returned to the Octagon at UFC 316 intent on taking back the 135-pound crown. Unfortunately, things didn’t work out O’Malley’s way.
