The Suga Show has officially taken over the bantamweight division. Sean O'Malley took the UFC bantamweight championship from Aljamain Sterling with a second-round TKO win over The Funkmaster in the main event of UFC 292.
After a slow first round in which neither fighter really took the lead in the fight, O'Malley dropped the now-former champion with a picture-perfect counter right hand to become the new champ.

After the bout, O'Malley admitted to being a little pensive because of the respect that he had for Sterling.
