Aljamain Sterling hopes to set up a super-fight against Alexander Volkanovski tonight when he fights Sean O'Malley at UFC 292.

Unbeaten Irish prospect Ian Garry looks to climb further up the welterweight rankings when he takes on Neil Magny whilst former middleweight champion Chris Weidman is also making his UFC return after two years out.

Sterling: "The last three months have been pretty good to me, I've been trying to get my body as healthy as I possibly could so I could make this event happen for the fans. it's going to be a great event and I know Boston hasn't had a pay-per-view like this in such a long time, so I'm excited about it and I can't wait to go out there and put on a show."

O'Malley: "Aljo is in his prime right now, just beat a double champ and before that beat someone who is considered one of the best bantamweights of all time. For me the Suga show to go and take him out, where does that put me? It puts me as the greatest bantamweight of all time. I think Alajmain is definitely the toughest fight in the division right now."
