The Sean O’Malley Era in the UFC’s bantamweight division got started earlier this month in Boston.
O’Malley (16-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) took out 135-pound champion Aljamain Sterling (23-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC) in the second round of their UFC 292 main event. Going into the fight, Sterling was being talked about as perhaps the greatest bantamweight of all time.
In the co-main event, Zhang Weili (23-3 MMA, 7-2 UFC) put on one of the most overwhelming performances in women’s MMA history when she dominated Amanda Lemos (13-2-1 MMA, 7-2 UFC) to defend the strawweight title. Plus, Ian Machado Garry (12-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) continued his unbeaten rise through the welterweight division with a shutout of Neil Magny (28-10 MMA, 21-9 UFC) on the scorecards.
