Sean O'Malley isn't holding back when it comes to the UFC's special White House fight kits—and not in a good way. The bantamweight star, known for his flashy style both inside and outside the Octagon, has openly criticized the design of the "UFC Freedom 250" kits, calling them "ugly" and questioning the effort behind their creation.

Set to take place on June 14 at the White House, UFC Freedom 250 is a historic, one-of-a-kind event celebrating America's 250th year of independence—and coincidentally, President Donald Trump's birthday. To mark the occasion, the UFC unveiled custom fight kits in red, white, and blue, complete with the official White House logo. But not everyone is impressed.

"They are ugly; mine were ugly. I don't like them," O'Malley said on his YouTube channel. "They're not pink, which is fine, whatever, I've worn other colors… Did they go on Fiverr and say, 'Hey, we got these guys getting to fight at the White House lawn. Can you just come up with something?'"

O'Malley, who is set to face Aiemann Zahabi at the event, didn't hold back his disappointment, particularly with his own white version of the kit. For a fighter who's built his brand on bold, custom walkout gear and vibrant fight shorts, the patriotic design clearly missed the mark.

On the fight front, O'Malley (19-3) is looking to build momentum after a decision win over Yadong Song, which snapped a two-fight losing streak to Merab Dvalishvili. Zahabi (14-2), a Canadian contender, enters the bout riding a seven-fight winning streak—making this a crucial test for both men.

Whether the kits grow on fans or not, all eyes will be on the White House lawn for what promises to be a memorable night of fights. But for O'Malley, the fashion verdict is already in: these kits just don't cut it.
