As many UFC pay-per-view events prove to be, this past Saturday’s UFC 292 at TD Garden in Boston had a number of landscape-altering results, including the crowning of one new champion.
Sean O'Malley achieved what many believe has been a championship destiny when he claimed the UFC bantamweight title from Aljamain Sterling with a second-round TKO finish.
Sterling has put in record number of consecutive title defenses at 135 pounds, so O’Malley knocking him off the throne in a definitive manner has a significant impact. “Suga” shoots all the way to the No. 1 spot, jumping up from his previous No. 3 ranking.
