This sport blends wrestling, boxing, and other martial art forms all into one, and some legends in the fighting game have made their mark in the UFC. One fighter, in particular, has been very popular with fans over the past few years.

The best part, he is from Montana and has a chance to make history Saturday.

Sean O'Malley, also known as Sugar, will fight for the Bantamweight Championship this Saturday, August 19th, at UFC 292. He will face off against the current champion Aljamain Sterling.

Sean O'Malley is ranked #2 in the Bantamweight division for the UFC and has a stellar record of 16-1-1. Sean is known for his incredible punches and has finished eleven fights by knockout.

Sean was born in Helena and had several amateur MMA fights in Montana and North Dakota before he caught the eye of Dana White, the co-owner of the UFC. Sean fought on the UFC's Contender Series, won his fight, and was awarded a UFC contract. Since then, he has been gaining steam in popularity and wins.

So where can you watch history possibly happen this Saturday? You have a few options.

Places that will be showing UFC 292 will be The Pourhouse, The Cat's Paw, and Spectator's Bar and Grill. If any other spots plan on televising the fights, please let us know on the app.
