Sean O'Malley sat quietly throughout the UFC 328 press conference without being asked questions or participating meaningfully in the event. The post notes that Steve Garcia and Diego Lopez also felt like the most useless people on Earth at previous press conferences, with O'Malley now joining them. Even Ayman Zahabi received questions while O'Malley was overlooked. The commentary criticizes modern UFC press conferences as having outlived their usefulness, suggesting they fail to deliver substantive answers or genuine emotion except in rare cases. The author proposes that press conferences should only be held every two to three years when participants are prepared to create genuine conflict.
