Sterling aims to achieve a historic feat at the event by becoming the first UFC bantamweight champion to secure four consecutive title defenses. Following his hard-fought victory over Henry Cejudo at UFC 288 in May, 'Funk Master' had minimal recovery time before his upcoming match against O'Malley was announced.

On the other hand, 'Sugar' has aspirations of clinching the title amidst an enthusiastic Boston audience. O'Malley earned his title opportunity by narrowly securing a split decision win over Petr Yan at UFC 280 last year in October.
