Aljamain Sterling will defend his bantamweight title against Sean O’Malley in tonight’s UFC 292 main event after Zhang Weili jeopardizes her gold.

Now, O’Malley is one of the most exciting forwards in the UFC, and his popularity with fans has seen him climb the ranks quickly. Will Sterling be too tough a test for the younger American?
