Sterling vs. O'Malley: Poirier chose a favorite

Dmitriy Kel Aug. 17, 2023, 4:39 a.m.

Former Interim UFC Lightweight Champion Dustin Poirier shared his expectations from the upcoming title fight in the bantamweight division between Aljamain Sterling And Sean O'Malleywhich will take place on August 19 at UFC 292 in Boston.

“Probably Sterling will dominate O'Malley. But Sean is tall, he has excellent timing and hits that are very uncomfortable for the opponent.

We all think the same thing: Aljamain will try to grab Sean, wrap his arms around him and block with his body. O'Malley, for his part, will try to fight in a standing position, keep the opponent at a distance, using the advantage in speed and range of arms.

Therefore, whoever implements the plan for the duel will win. Still, I'm leaning towards Sterling's win," Poirier was quoted as saying by MMA News.
