UFC 292 pay-per-view: Sean O'Malley confident about beating Aljamain Sterling despite being the underdog
Sean O'Malley recently discussed his upcoming title fight against Aljamain Sterling at UFC 292 and claimed he's sure of a win despite his skills being overlooked by many.
O'Malley is widely considered among the best strikers in the UFC. However, the No. 2-ranked bantamweight will have his work cut out for him as he goes up against Sterling, the division's most decorated champion ever. 'Funk Master' will be looking to make a statement against 'Suga' and extend his record for the most title defenses in UFC bantamweight history.
Given Aljamain Sterling's resume, many have dismissed Sean O'Malley's chances at UFC 292 and believe 'Funk Master' will get his fourth title defense. However, as per O'Malley, he's immune to the noise and is confident in himself.
At the recent UFC 292 pre-fight presser, he said:
"I don’t really care what people say... I kind of like being the underdog... He’s the bantamweight GOAT. He’s on a nine-fight winning streak, and he’s saying I haven’t earned the shot. How stupid will he look when I go out there and knock him out... It makes him look real stupid." [via mmajunkie.usatoday.com]
