Fighter vs. Writer: Alan Jouban Praises Aljamain Sterling as the Bantamweight GOAT During UFC 292 Preview Plus How Good is Ian Machado Garry?

On The Fighter vs. The Writer, UFC analyst Alan Jouban joins MMA Fighting senior reporter Damon Martin to preview UFC 292 on Saturday from Boston. In the main event, Aljamain Sterling will look to defend his bantamweight title against Sean O’Malley in a hyped matchup between champion and challenger. If Sterling is successful, does that cement him as the greatest 135-pound fighter of all time? Jouban argues that Sterling may not even need the win to already claim GOAT status. We’ll also look ahead at the co-main event between Zhang Weili and Amanda Lemos in a seemingly forgotten title fight taking place on Saturday. As part of the preview, we’ll also discuss if the hype is real around Irish welterweight prospect Ian Machado Garry as he prepares to clash with Neil Magny, Chris Weidman’s comeback from a devastating broken leg, the stakes for Marlon “Chito” Vera.
