Full results from UFC 292 after Sean O’Malley vs Aljamain Sterling and Zhang Weili vs Amanda Lemos

Conor McGregor feeds Irish stout to Anthony Joshua Irish stout after Robert Helenius knockout

Sean O’Malley’s rise to stardom continued on Saturday as he knocked out Aljamain Sterling to win the bantamweight title at UFC 292.

Sterling had won nine straight fights, including three title defences, heading into the main event in Boston this weekend, while O’Malley’s popularity with fans saw him fast-tracked to a shot at the gold.

But O’Malley justified that decision at UFC 292, dropping Sterling with a picture-perfect right hand early in Round 2 before securing a TKO of the Jamaican-American.

That result followed Zhang Weili’s dominant title defence against Amanda Lemos in the co-main event, which the champion won with a lopsided decision.
