The UFC has sparked a heated debate among fans with its latest poster update for UFC 324. But is it a fair omission or a controversial snub?
The promotion has removed former UFC bantamweight champion Sean O'Malley from the event poster, despite his impressive credentials. O'Malley, also known as 'Suga', has been a consistent main eventer, having headlined four consecutive title fights. So, it's no wonder fans are up in arms about his exclusion.
The poster update came after the highly-anticipated co-main event between Kayla Harrison and Amanda Nunes was scrapped due to Harrison's injury. But here's where it gets controversial: O'Malley was seemingly replaced by the interim lightweight title fight between Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett, leaving fans questioning the decision.
Many believe O'Malley deserves a spot on the poster, considering his recent success and popularity. However, some argue that posters are becoming obsolete in the digital era, where social media and online promotions dominate.
The UFC 324 card also features a heavyweight clash between Derrick Lewis and Waldo Cortes-Acosta, adding to the excitement. But the real question remains: Was the UFC's decision to exclude O'Malley a fair call or a missed opportunity to showcase a rising star?
What do you think? Is the UFC playing it safe, or should they have given O'Malley his rightful place on the poster? Share your thoughts in the comments below, and let's spark a lively discussion!
