BOSTON – UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling doesn’t see the hype and popularity of Sean O'Malley being all that special given the platforms.
Ahead of their title clash Saturday, Sterling (23-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC) said the brakes should be pumped as a potential O’Malley (16-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) hype train pulls into TD Garden for UFC 292, though risk exists.
When Sterling was asked if he saw an “it-factor” in O’Malley, he brushed it off.
