BOSTON – Aljamain Sterling hopes the tale of him vs. Sean O'Malley is not over, in the wake of pure disappointment.
In the UFC 292 main event, Sterling (23-4 MMA, 15-4 UFC) was knocked out by O’Malley (17-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) at 0:51 of Round 2 after a close first round. The loss was his second knockout loss, ended his bantamweight title run, and snapped a nine-fight winning streak.
“It definitely sucks,” Sterling told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a post-fight news conference. “I’m not going to lie about that. There was a lot coming into this fight. The quick turnaround and everything, but I was happy to do it. No excuses.”
