Talking about the fight carrying an impressive 9-fight winning streak, Sterling (-258) stands as the favored contender against Sean O’Malley (+210). Following his title victory over Petr Yan, ‘Funk Master’ defended his championship in a Yan rematch and triumphed over former titleholders TJ Dillashaw and Henry Cejudo.
On the flip side, Sean O’Malley boasts a 16-1 record in professional MMA, with his lone loss against ‘Chito’ Vera. The question remains whether ‘Sugar’ can seize the title in the upcoming weekend. However, the spotlight doesn’t solely rest on the main event; the co-main features champion Zhang Weili taking on Amanda Lemos in a strawweight title clash. The card is stacked with an array of other superstars, making this event an unmissable spectacle.
