Get ready for a night of exhilarating action as UFC 292 descends upon Boston this Saturday. With two thrilling title bouts on the horizon, fans are in for a treat as champions defend their crowns against hungry contenders. In the main event, Aljamain Sterling puts his bantamweight championship on the line against the charismatic Sean O’Malley. Meanwhile, Zhang Weili the women’s strawweight champion faces off against Amanda Lemos in the co-main event.

Sterling enters the Octagon with determination hinting that this fight marks the conclusion of his time in the bantamweight division. Aiming to solidify his legacy, Sterling is eager to deliver a memorable title defense against the rising star O’Malley. With O’Malley’s UFC journey gaining steam since his debut on “Dana White’s Contender Series,” this showdown is a chance for him to prove his worth on the big stage.

Weili is a tenacious champion and readies herself for her first title defense in her second reign. She recaptured the title in her previous fight submitting Carla Esparza at UFC 281. Lemos on the other hand rides on a wave of momentum with consecutive wins including a submission victory over Michelle Waterson and a TKO finish against Marina Rodriguez.

Aljamain Sterling vs Sean O’Malley

Sterling and O’Malley’s clash promises fireworks from the opening bell. The outcome hinges on whether Sterling can utilize his striking to secure takedowns or if O’Malley can showcase his stand-up prowess. The fight’s complexion will change once one fighter asserts dominance. O’Malley’s striking power could pose a threat to Sterling, while the latter’s takedown proficiency might lead to submission or a ground-and-pound finish.

Prediction: Aljamain Sterling

Zhang Weili vs Amanda Lemos

Lemos is known for her inconsistency and faces the consistent force of Weili. Lemos has displayed both impressive victories and struggles while Weili’s unwavering performance has solidified her reputation. Weili’s knockout potential shines against Lemos who has shown vulnerabilities on the feet in previous fights.

Prediction: Zhang Weili

Ian Machado Garry vs Neil Magny

Garry enters the Octagon with youthful confidence, while Magny’s prime years in the UFC seem to have waned. Magny’s recent narrow win raises questions about his form. Garry’s surge contrasts with Magny’s decline. Garry to secure a finish before the final minutes against a possibly diminished Magny.

Prediction: Ian Garry
