The UFC has sparked a heated debate among fans with its latest poster update for UFC 324. But wait, where's Sean O'Malley, the former bantamweight champion?
A controversial omission
The promotion's decision to exclude O'Malley, also known as 'Suga,' from the updated event poster has left fans scratching their heads. After all, O'Malley is no small player in the game. He has an impressive record, having just come off four consecutive main events and title fights. So, why the snub?
The original poster featured O'Malley as the co-main event, but following the withdrawal of Kayla Harrison due to injury, the UFC removed her bout with Amanda Nunes and, surprisingly, O'Malley's spot as well. This move has caused an uproar on social media, with fans questioning the logic behind it.
A digital age dilemma
Some argue that physical posters are a thing of the past and that their relevance in the digital era is debatable. However, for traditionalists and those who appreciate the art of promotion, this decision might be a hard pill to swallow.
The show must go on
UFC 324, set for January 24 in Las Vegas, will now feature an interim lightweight title fight between Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett as the main event. Derrick Lewis and Waldo Cortes-Acosta will also bring the action in the heavyweight division.
But the question remains: Was the UFC's decision to leave O'Malley off the poster a fair one? Share your thoughts in the comments, and let's get the conversation started!
