Sean O’Malley, the No. 1 UFC bantamweight contender, has dismissed concerns about Aljamain Sterling’s health ahead of their title fight at UFC 292. Sterling just defended his title against Henry Cejudo at UFC 288 on May 6th, and some have questioned whether he is fully recovered. However, O’Malley has said that he is not worried about Sterling’s health and that he is focused on winning the fight.
In an interview with MMA Junkie, O’Malley said, “I don’t really care about his health. I’m going to go in there and try to hurt him regardless. I’m not going to be like, ‘Oh, I hope he’s healthy.’ I’m going to go in there and try to take his head off.”

The fight between O’Malley and Sterling is expected to be a clash of styles, with O’Malley looking to keep the fight standing and Sterling looking to take it to the ground.
