Commentary on the UFC 328 press conference highlighted its lack of substance, with Sean O'Malley joining Steve Garcia and Diego Lopez as the "most useless" participants. O'Malley reportedly sat silently throughout the event without contributing, while even Ayman Zahabi received questions. The analysis argues that press conferences have outlived their purpose, failing to deliver either meaningful answers or genuine emotional conflict between fighters. While Josh Hockit's cringe-worthy poetry performances dominated the event and provoked reactions from Derrick Lewis, Alex Pereira, and Ilia Topuria, ultimately leading to a scuffle and Hockit's removal from the venue, the writer suggests such spectacles are rare. The post concludes that press conferences should only be held when genuine conflict exists, as most have become forgettable formalities that serve no real promotional purpose.
