UFC 292 to feature Sterling-O'Malley, Zhang-Lemos title fights in Boston

UFC 292 is set to feature two title fights.

Aljamain Sterling will look to defend his bantamweight belt against Sean O'Malley in the main event, while Zhang Weili will attempt to retain the women's strawweight title against Amanda Lemos in the co-main event, the promotion announced Tuesday.

UFC 292 is scheduled for Aug. 19 at TD Garden in Boston.

Sterling is 23-3 and unbeaten since 2018. The 33-year-old has held the bantamweight title since his 2021 victory over Petr Yan. Sterling came away with the win after an illegal knee strike from Yan.

Meanwhile, O'Malley is unbeaten in his last five fights and holds a 16-1 record, plus one no-contest. The 28-year-old has 11 career wins by KO/TKO. His last fight was a split-decision victory over Yan at UFC 280.

Zhang, 33, captured the strawweight title at UFC 281 from Carla Esparza with a rear-naked choke submission. She owns a 23-3 record with 11 victories coming by KO/TKO, eight by submission, and four decisions.

Lemos enters the bout with a 13-2 record. The 25-year-old also has one draw. She's riding a two-fight win streak, with wins over Michelle Waterson-Gomez and Marina Rodriguez in her most recent bouts. The Brazilian fighter will look to continue a trend of short-lived strawweight titleholders when she faces Zhang.
