There is always a chance for the fight to end in KO by Sugar, it could just be 10% but yup it's possible to hit Sterling but I have not really seen him get a clean shot either by knee or head kick. Sean has the technique of throwing a leg kick but will twist turning it into a head kick. Sean will be wrestled for the rest of the time by Aljamain. Suga getting mounted or turning his back, it will be the end of him.  

Actually O'Malley's odds have risen to a whopping 3.10x when I last looked last night.
Nobody is really putting much confidence in this guy to bring an upset.
Did everybody forget how Sterling received the title in the first place?
He is called the fake champion for years since he won the belt when Petr Yan did an illegal knee to a downed opponent. So many saw it wasn't a earned title. But from his fights since then, he has proven these nay-sayers wrong with I believe 3-4 title defenses since.

There was a media day yesterday to get everybody hyped for the fights.
But this to me was alot better to watch then hear the fighters just trash talking each other and thus not proving anything until they step into the octagon for Saturday's big UFC event.

Better to wait for the press conference and weigh-ins later on today and tomorrow to get more of a feel of the fighters.

^^
And that is exactly why they call him "The Suga Show" because he surely doesn't disappoint in any of his matches.
Even in the first loss on his UFC record to Marlon Vera.

I have always bet on him for any of his matches so this one won't be any different for this weekend.
No matter whatever the odds are.
Which when I checked them early on Sunday before all the hype with the pre-press conference and weigh-ins happening this week, Sean O'Malley was at 3.00x they are quite high but I will take them even if gets to 2.50x.

3.00x is definitely good if you are rooting for O'Malley why wait for it to drop, by KO I think is possible he does have a knockout power.  Becoming a champion will surely have a new face on top to be challenged. Him vs Merab Dvalishvili will probably be the next.

People bet terribly when they hate these fighters. These 2 are not the most likable guys in UFC. While Sterling is the favorite, fans are actually weighing it like Suha should have been the favorite. Well, big loss for the guys who always bank for the favorites.

^ Weili Zhang VS Amanda Lemos both wants to fight in wrestling so this is going to be a ground game for the two. But obviously, Zhang is the stronger one. I couldn't imagine she lost twice against Namajunas.

For Sterling to fight O'Malley, he will stick to his winning strategy to takedown O'Malley and slam him. Not really a fan of both but I prefer Sterling to win over this poddle.
Nice card though. Some familiar names like Marlon Vera, Pedro Munhoz and Weidman.

Funny you say that.
Because from the last preview show I watched the predictor of the fight outcomes was just saying this has got to the most uneven match-up on a fight card he has ever seen.
He is also predicting all the heavy favorites will win. Since none of the matches are even close for even odds on any of the cards.
But we all know that there is one or two sneaky fights that always produce that one acca-killer!

Now pretty much I am curious if Sean O'Malley can face the wrestling of Aljamain Sterling head-on, as I really don't seem to see him with some ground game, and there surely not much Submission win for O'Malley or if he can defended all that wrestling game of Sterling,

Weili Zhang VS Amanda Lemos fight is not so bad as a Co-Main Event especially this is going to be a great fun fight to really watch and what kind of wrestling Weili will now show us,

Marlon Vera VS Pedro Munhoz is what I anticipated to watch as I really like Marlon "Chito" Vera style and his kicks was really awesome, so this is a great time to watch for sure,

There also has been some rule changes that came out today that recognizes what has happened during the last two UFC Main Events and have addressed these issues within those fights for all bouts going forward:
https://www.mmanews.com/news/rule-changes-help-mma-fighters-who-sustain-eye-pokes-illegal-strikes

The big one is this because of how the Sandhagen fight was very boring due to not having some kind of rule put in place to avoid this happening especially during a main event:
Separating stalling fighters
The third rule approved codifyies language on referee discretion on when to separate stalling fighters.

“Positioning fighters for a restart after a foul warning, physicians examination or a point deduction:

“Intention: A fighter should never be allowed to improve their position based on fouling.

“When a fighter who is in a disadvantaged position fouls and the referee must stop the action — if it can be reasonably accomplished, the fighters should be returned to their positions after the time is taken for the warning, physician’s examination or point deduction.

“When a fighter who is in position of advantage fouls and the referee must stop the action for a warning, physician’s examination or point deduction, the fouling fighter should lose his position of advantage when the bout resumes.

Yes danherbias07! I will be going with the upset for the Main Event come this weekend at UFC 292.
Good catch on the odds difference for the K.O by Suga Show is a more likely outcome if he does win.
Because Aljo is the submission master and that is why they call him Funkmaster Flex.

Nice rundown in the bouts on the main card owengtam09!

@owengtam09 Very nice.
UFC 292. I have been waiting for that event. I didn't watch this last fight because I don't really like what is on the fight card. But this next one I would definitely not miss.

And the Countdown starts.
STERLING vs O'MALLEY | UFC 292 Countdown

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCf9SZzqsO4

Here are the odds for this fight for the main event.
Aljamain Sterling - |Winner @1.39| by KO @7.40| by submission 3.00| by decision 2.43|
Sean O'Malley - |Winner @3.25| by KO @4.60| by submission @23.00| by decision 8.20|

Do you guys see a difference? By KO. Sean is the favorite and has a chance to KO the champion. I actually double-checked it to see if I am not making a mistake.  Well, that dude is a hard puncher so it's given.

They already made the trash talk in the Octagon. Time to put all those in their fists and see who will be the strongest and most skillful. I am truly excited for this match.

Do you guys think there will be an upset?

Here are the results of my bet and prediction for the UFC Fight Night: Luque vs. Dos Anjos

Vicente Luque VS Rafael dos Anjos ROUND 5 DECISION - WIN

Vicente Luque is really impressive in this fight he is taking his time in giving RDA and pressuring him in this fight pretty much good takedown defense and also counter those takedowns with his own takedowns, he surely was like he is not from a brain hemorrhage at all, Luque was controlling the fight and pressuring the Rafael dos Anjos in his game for sure is a great feat for Luque, for sure Vicente Luque has gotten good from his long break has many output strikes than RDA and 11 takedowns 8 was successful to RDA's 7 takedowns with just 2 being successful for sure Luque have won the fight,

Cub Swanson VS Hakeem Dawodu ROUND 3 DECISION - LOST

Cub Swanson got an emotional win and surely he deserves this I really doubt him because of his age, and for sure I am seeing Cub Swanson in a different light because of this fight but surely Hakeem Dawodu is pretty much durable, and for me because the fight was so close I really thought that Hakeem Dawodu got more strikes than Swanson, surely because of the takedown that Cub Swanson throws that must have seen by the judges with that 2 takedowns he threw, 1 was successful and I think that has done the job, for the judges to score it to Swanson,

Khalil Rountree VS Chris Daukaus ROUND 1 KO/TKO - WIN

Just like I have said Khalil Rountree hit like a Heavyweight, that was an insane fight, and looking at Chris Daukaus flying on the ground with those scary punches of Rountree, surely all Daukaus could do is to protect his head from that nasty punch from Khalil Roundtree, it was spectacular and a wrong move for Daukaus to go down the Division,

Still, a stunning feat to make those wins, you sure have a gifted thing of making that good decision which is not my kind of thing but again it was pretty much a great thing for you in making those winnings, especially those Dustin Jacoby vs Kennedy Nzechukwu prediction I would never see that because I am all out for Kennedy Nzechukwu because of his good record with his winnings it was surely a good gamble,

They sure do they keep on hyping a fight that will just make our eyes hurt this will be a hilarious event

For sure it will be an unpredictable fight and we are just going with what we see and what we observe, but for this one, I just go on with the flow with what I think would happen, so here are my bet and prediction going with the UFC Fight Night: Luque vs. Dos Anjos

Vicente Luque VS Rafael dos Anjos

The stake odds for this fight are 1.98 for Luque and 1.84 for dos Anjos, For this fight I really think that Vicente Luque has more power and is much faster than Rafael dos Anjos that is now 38 years old, and Luque is much bigger and has the reach advantage, a 6.0" reach difference for Luque if you likey seen the striking of Vicente Luque it is really phenomenal, but because it lacks a punch he can surely make the job done with those strike output he can get against dos Anjos, and has a great takedown defense, the only thing I am worried about Luque is his recent brain hemorrhage that likely his doctor confirms he is clear, but how I wish there is no further effect on him in his performance so I am going with Vicente Luque,

Cub Swanson VS Hakeem Dawodu

The stake odds for this fight are 2.85 for Swanson and 1.43 for Hakeem, For me I really think Cub Swanson doesn't have it anymore he is nearing his 40 years and likely just past his prime already, while Hakeem Dawodu is just still improving and even though he doesn't do much with his Julian Erosa fight for sure Cub Swanson is a good match for him, that likely he has a better speed and can likely land more output on the striking and Swanson may not take a successful takedown here because of Hakeem's takedown defense and this could be a knockout  or a decision win for Hakeem Dawodu

Khalil Rountree VS Chris Daukaus

The stake odds for this fight are 1.55 for Rountree and 2.48 for Daukaus, Now for this fight Chris Daukaus goes down a division and likely this could be a much better level for him because the power in the Light Heavyweight division will be likely lessen, and punches could be lighter for him but surely because of the level of competition now Light Heavyweights has more dude with a more technical approach and have much speed, and Khalil Rountree is likely one of have more speed even though he is not that technical this dude hits like a Heavyweight, so for sure it is a wrong move for Chris Daukaus, my pick is Khalil Rountree,
