Rising star Sean O’Malley will challenge Aljamain Sterling for the UFC bantamweight title in the main event of UFC 292 tonight.

O’Malley’s crisp and flashy striking has seen him win over a lot of fans, though his personality has proven divisive. In any case, the American has managed to set up a title shot without going through the wringer that many fighters do, in large part due to his profile.

“Sugar Sean” did, however, take on ex-champion Petr Yan last year, edging past the Russian with a controversial decision win.

Sterling also divides fans but is crafting an impressive resume, which features successful title defences against Yan, TJ Dillashaw and Henry Cejudo – all former champions.

The Jamaican-American’s grappling skills are expected to be the difference tonight, though he must beware O’Malley’s ability to produce a one-punch knockout.

Here’s a look at this evening’s card (subject to any late changes):

Aljamain Sterling (C) vs Sean O’Malley (bantamweight title)

Zhang Weili (C) vs Amanda Lemos (women’s strawweight title)

Neil Magny vs Ian Machado Garry (welterweight)
