UFC 292 results LIVE: Sean O’Malley stuns Aljamain Sterling with picture-perfect KO

Round 2

Sterling with a much faster start to this round. He rushes to O’Malley with a body kick, then grabs a hold of the challenger as he trips.

OH! Out of nowhere, O’Malley drops Sterling with a short right hand!! He pours on punches, and Sterling just cannot defend himself!

IT’S ALL OVER! AND NEW!

Round 1

LET’S GO! Chants of, “F*** you, Aljo,” early on.

O’Malley gets out on the front foot, stalking Sterling and throwing lots of feints. He lands a good front kick to the body, but Sterling fires back with low kicks.

There’s not much output overall, though, and the crowd begins to boo. Sterling eventually shoots for a takedown – from quite some range – and he’ll settle for the clinch, where he unloads a few punches before the buzzer sounds.

That was a very cagey round.

Next up, the main event!

Round 5

Final round! Zhang drops Lemos with a hard shot then pummels her with punches and elbows on the mat...

Lemos stands and tries to grab Zhang, who just wrestles her to the mat and fires off hammer fists while trapping Lemos’s arm.

Zhang has just recorded the largest strike differential in a women’s UFC fight.

Lemos, to her credit, stands again. Twenty seconds left! Zhang with a side kick to the body, and another.

Round 4

Another hard right hand from Lemos! She’s found a few tonight, but they’ve been not nearly enough.

Again Zhang gets Lemos to the mat, and again the challenger tries for a choke, but she’s not got the leverage.

Zhang is tiring a bit, and Lemos is able to stand. On the feet, though, she’s clubbed by a right hand from Zhang.

Round 3

More grappling, largely against the fence, with Zhang in control for the most part.

She hauls Lemos to the mat then stands and slams a kick into her hamstring.

Zhang then gets back on top; she’s in side control, trying to isolate Lemos’s right arm, but the Brazilian eventually stands.

More elbows from Zhang... Total strikes: Zhang 156-9 Lemos...

Round 2

Zhang just misses with a side kick to the head, but her next attempt lands.

Lemos lands a hard right hand now, but Zhang responds by taking her down!

Zhang has side control and smashes her shoulder into the chin of Lemos.

Lemos scrambles really well to stand, but she eats a brutal elbow immediately.

Round 1

Both women possess real power. Will we see it on display?

Zhang catches a low kick and trips Lemos, stacking up the Brazilian then passing into side control.

The Chinese star digs a few short punches into the ribs of Lemos. Zhang has half-guard, too. Nasty elbow from the champion!

OH! Lemos is able to pull a D’Arce out of nowhere, and Zhang looks to be in real trouble... What a turnaround this could be!

But Zhang slips out, takes the back with Lemos flattened out, and pours on ground and pound! Lemos tries for another D’Arce, but Zhang slams her down and fires off violent elbows again!

Co-main event! Two-time champion Zhang Weili defends the women’s strawweight title against Amanda Lemos.
