 “Suga” Sean O’Malley dethroned Aljamain Sterling for the bantamweight title at UFC 292. O’Malley became the eighth fighter to hold the bantamweight title in the UFC. It took him less than ten minutes to complete the job as he starched Sterling with a clean right hand. O’Malley’s knockout power remains devastating as celebrities praised him for the knockout.

Suga remained calm throughout the fight and used his footwork to avoid grappling exchanges. He also showcased an improved takedown defense against Sterling at UFC 292. With the title win, he has skyrocketed into superstar status. Only fighters like Conor McGregor, Jon Jones, and Israel Adesanya may be bigger than him. After winning the title, O’Malley promised to remain an active champion in the UFC.

Suga has immense popularity on the internet due to his fighting style and personality. Adding the bantamweight championship to the mix makes him among the top 5 superstars in the UFC. The PPV numbers for the UFC 292 will further solidify his status as a top draw in the company. The crowd reaction for O’Malley in Boston became one of the loudest pops in the TD Arena for a UFC fighter.

Suga made his intention clear about fighting Marlon “Chito” Vera to avenge his loss in 2020. Chito remains the only fighter on the roster to defeat O’Malley. However, there are other deserving contenders like Merab Dvalishvili and Cory Sandhagen to compete for the title. He could be the greatest bantamweight fighter if he can defend the title against these dangerous bantamweights.
