The MMA world hadn’t even digested Aljamain Sterling’s successful title defense over Henry Cejudo before the fight promotion began for the division’s next championship matchup.
After an aggressive invitation from Sterling, next title challenger Sean O'Malley entered the cage at UFC 288 in Newark, N.J. with a red jacket a la “Thriller” that Michael Jackson would be proud of.
As O’Malley and Sterling barked, the jacket came off. That’s when Sterling’s teammate Merab Dvalishvili stole O’Malley’s jacket and broke the internet in the process.
