‘Sean O’Malley randomly spawning in the background of UFC 311 has me crying’—Fans can’t stop laughing at his unexpected cameo

The UFC 311 that took place in California on Saturday night is one for the books, if only for the number of memes and jokes that have spawned since Sean O’Malley was spotted in the audience with his bright pink hair.

The match was a showdown between Merab Dvalishcili and Umar Nurmagomedov, but it is safe to say that all of the attention was on O'Malley instead. It is a given, especially since he hasn't been spotted in the ring since he suffered a notable unanimous decision title loss when he went up against Dvalishcili at UFC 306 just this September.

We have rounded up some of the funniest reactions and responses to his not-so-secret cameo at the bout to lift your spirits today.
