UFC 280- In a controversial move, Suga has plunged into Bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling PPV money at UFC 280. Both the fighters are entering the octagon on the same fight card.

The UFC basically said when they announced my fight, they’ve seen the interaction and engagement of social and everything, the thing just went boom [gestures straight up]. My fight is the most hyped fight on that card. I’m not taking anything away from Charles vs. Islam, that’s going to be a sick fight, but me vs. Petr? It’s just such an interesting fight.”

He holds a brilliant record of 15 wins and 1 loss in his professional MMA career. His only loss was against Marlon Vera at UFC 252. The loss came from a vicious elbow from Vera knocking out Malley in the first round
Yan, 29, lost to Sterling in a rematch for the bantamweight championship at UFC 273 in April (16-3, 8-2 UFC). Since O’Malley hasn’t yet faced a striker of his caliber, his boxing will be a challenge for him because it ranks among the greatest in the sport.
