Take a look at the tweet:

Sean O'Malley is probably the most well-known among these figures. However, Kevin Holland is the one that has racked up the most wins in the organization since joining. This weekend, 'Sugar' is looking to make history as the second DWCS fighter to become champion as he takes on Aljamain Sterling for the bantamweight title at UFC 292.

The pair will face each other on August 19 at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts.


Aljamain Sterling says he needs to put Sean O'Malley in his place

Aljamain Sterling is set to defend his title for the fourth time against one of the best strikers in the division. The UFC 292 main event is one of the most highly anticipated fights of the year since fans have wanted to see O'Malley get a title shot for a while. In a recent YouTube video, 'Funk Master' spoke about why he needs to put 'Sugar' in his place:

"I have nothing against Sean in the sense of a personal vendetta, or he did something to my family. It ain't nothing like that. It's just teacher's pet, Dana White privilege, spoiled brat. I just want to put him in his place."

Take a look at the tweet by MMA Junkie:

The pair have been engaging in a lot of trash talk ahead of their fight. Although Sean O'Malley is being realistic about the fight and has said it will be a tough fight, Sterling believes it will be a walk in the park for him. 'Funk Master' will rely on his superior grappling to get him an easy win.
