Former UFC bantamweight champion, Sean O’Malley, is good enough to co-headline the upcoming UFC 324 event on Jan. 24 in Las Vegas — but not good enough to land on the UFC 324 poster update, which removed the former co-main event between Kayla Harrison and Amanda Nunes after Harrison withdrew due to injury.
Have a look at the before and after below:
O’Malley fights No. 5-ranked Yadong Song in a three-round non-title fight
.Fans on social media blasted the promotion’s “weird” decision to omit O’Malley

Have a look at the fan reactions in the thread below:
There’s also an argument that it doesn’t matter since posters are no longer relevant in the digital age.
UFC 324 will be headlined by the interim lightweight title fight pitting Justin Gaethje against Paddy Pimblett. Elsewhere on the Paramount+ fight card (see it here), heavyweight hurters Derrick Lewis and Waldo Cortes-Acosta throw heavy leather at 265 pounds.
