Call it a coronation. Call it destiny accomplished. Call it whatever you’d like. Sean O'Malley is the new bantamweight champion after finishing Aljamain Sterling in the UFC 292 main event.
After entering the UFC through Dana White’s Contender Series with some clout already on his name, everything in his career has been heading toward what happened in the main event at TD Garden in Boston, when O’Malley (17-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) dropped and stopped Sterling (23-4 MMA, 15-4 UFC) early in the second round for the TKO and title change.
