Daniel Cormier believes Sean O'Malley is the name UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling needs on his resume to win over fans.
After retaining his belt against Henry Cejudo in this past Saturday’s UFC 288 headliner at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., Sterling (23-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC) now holds the record for most consecutive bantamweight title defenses in company history at three. “The Funkmaster” is on a nine-fight winning streak, the longest active streak in bantamweight history.
But despite his accolades, Cormier still views him as under-appreciated and believes O’Malley (16-1 MMA, 8-1) is the opponent that could enhance his profile.
