UFC 292: Sterling vs. O'Malley was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that took place on August 19, 2023, at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts, United States.[1]
Background
The event marked the promotion's seventh visit to Boston and first since UFC on ESPN: Reyes vs. Weidman in October 2019.[1]
A UFC Bantamweight Championship bout between current champion Aljamain Sterling and Sean O'Malley headlined the event.[2]
A UFC Women's Strawweight Championship bout between current two-time champion Zhang Weili and Amanda Lemos served as the co-headliner.[3]
The lightweight and bantamweight finals of The Ultimate Fighter: Team McGregor vs. Team Chandler took place at the event.[4]
Former LFA Middleweight Champion Gregory Rodrigues and Denis Tiuliulin were expected to meet in a middleweight bout at UFC on ABC: Emmett vs. Topuria.[5] However, the bout was postponed to this event after Tiuliulin withdrew due to undisclosed reasons.[6]
A bantamweight bout between former UFC Flyweight and Bantamweight Champion Henry Cejudo (also 2008 Olympic gold medalist in freestyle wrestling) and Marlon Vera was expected to take place at the event.[7] However, Cejudo withdrew in late June due to a shoulder injury.[8] He was replaced by Pedro Munhoz.[9]
A bantamweight bout between Rob Font and Song Yadong was expected to take place at the event.[10] However, Yadong withdrew for unknown reasons and Font was instead scheduled to face Cory Sandhagen two weeks prior at UFC on ESPN: Sandhagen vs. Font as Sandhagen was in need of a new opponent.[11]
A welterweight bout between Ian Machado Garry and Geoff Neal was expected to take place at the event.[12] However, Neal withdrew due to undisclosed health reasons.[13] He was replaced by Neil Magny.[14]
Former bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt was scheduled to face Mario Bautista.[15] However, Garbrandt pulled out due to injury a week before the event.[16] He was replaced by Da'Mon Blackshear, who last fought a week before at UFC on ESPN: Luque vs. dos Anjos.[17]
