SUGA ON TOP

Victory would be so sweet for Sean

- GARY HITCHCOCK

"WELCOME to 'The Suga Show' everybody" and whether you enjoy the sweet rush or it leaves you feeling a little queasy, all eyes, which is just how he likes it, will be on Sean O'Malley this weekend.

UFC 292 from Boston will be headlined by one of the most anticipated bantamweight fights in company history as champion Aljamain Sterling faces the charismatic if divisive O'Malley.

The Post Malone look-alike will be hoping the 135lb division will be living in the Post-Sterling era after they meet in the octagon, with many, including UFC president Dana White, having earmarked O'Malley as a future champion and potential PPV superstar.

The 28-year-old was fresh-faced, with the ink barely dry on his first tattoos, when he announced himself in 2017 on White's Contender Series with a first-round KO win.
