The UFC apparently can’t tell the difference between light heavyweight Jamahal Hill and welterweight contender Leon Edwards.
On Saturday night, Hill knocked out KOed Thiago Santos at UFC Vegas 59.

After the fight, the UFC showed a promo of their upcoming fight cards and fans noticed that Hill was in the UFC 278 graphic alongside Kamaru Usman.
They put Jamahal Hill on the UFC 278 graphic instead of Leon Edwards lol. https://t.co/awBUm2LG7h
