Overview
- The Spider-Man pointing pose was performed by Jackson McVey and Wes Schultz during the ceremonial weigh-ins at UFC Sacramento on Saturday and the clip quickly circulated online.
- The moment sits against a real competitive backdrop because Schultz submitted McVey in 41 seconds in their 2020 amateur meeting, making their scheduled 185-pound rematch on the Hernandez–Rodrigues card more than a gag.
- Former interim title challenger Kelvin Gastelum posted a public rebuke on X saying face-offs should retain seriousness and warning that treating MMA like a joke can be dangerous for fighters.
- UFC figures and fans split in reaction, with Hunter Campbell laughing and Sean Shelby appearing puzzled, showing how brief weigh-in stunts can overshadow fight-week narratives.
- Other stage theatrics at the same event, such as Marcio Barbosa appearing with painted Hulk hands, underline a trend where short viral moments are being used to draw attention during promotion.
