Prior to his championship win over Aljamain Sterling at UFC 292 last weekend, Sean O’Malley was backed to fulfil his apparent “destiny” to clinch division spoils by current middleweight kingpin, Israel Adesanya – who claimed he followed through with his prediction of events as he reacted to the savage knockout stoppage.
Headlining his first event since landing in the Octagon from Dana White’s Contender Series, Montana native, O’Malley strapped himself with undisputed bantamweight gold with a stunning second round TKO win over Sterling, laying waste to the Uniondale native with a slew of damaging ground strikes.
