The UFC returns to New England this weekend as the promotion hosts UFC 292 in Boston on Saturday night (10 p.m. ET on ESPN+ PPV, with prelims at 8 p.m. on ESPN/ESPN+).
The fight card will be headlined with a bantamweight title fight as Aljamain Sterling looks to set the record for most bantamweight title defenses against Sean O’Malley. This will be O’Malley’s first UFC title fight. The women’s strawweight title will be on the line in the co-main event as Zhang Weili takes on Amanda Lemos. Beyond the title fights, there are plenty of intriguing matchups on the card that fans should keep an eye on.
ESPN MMA analysts Megan Anderson and Andres Waters highlight the top storylines to watch during the fights this weekend.
Sterling vs. O’Malley is more than just a title fight
Anderson: There will be more on the line than just the bantamweight title when Sterling and O’Malley clash on Saturday night. O’Malley has a chance to prove he is who the promotion thought he could be after earning a contract with the promotion on “Dana White’s Contender Series” in 2017.
