Ahead of his first championship outing under the banner of the UFC tonight in Boston, Massachusetts, incoming title challenger, Sean O’Malley is destined to win undisputed bantamweight spoils against the incumbent, Aljamain Sterling, according to middleweight best, Israel Adesanya.
O’Malley, who enters tonight’s TD Garden title fight showdown with Sterling as the number two ranked bantamweight contender, has been sidelined since turning in the most high-profile win of his Octagon stint to date, with a close, split decision win over former titleholder, Petr Yan at UFC 280 back in October of last year.
As for Sterling, the dominant Uniondale recorded a record-setting third consecutive successful bantamweight title defense at UFC 288 back in May, defeating the returning former two-weight champion, Henry Cejudo over the course of five rounds in a close, split judging win.
