The UFC also makes its gaffes. The largest MMA organization in the world got in the way during UFC Fight Night 80, an event held last Saturday (28), in South Korea, when promoting its next big show.

On December 12th, the Brazilian José Aldo, featherweight champion, faces the Irishman Conor McGregor, owner of the interim belt, in the main fight of UFC 194. But the problem is that Ultimate announced the manauara's rival as an American (check the image below).

PUBLICITY:

A transmissão gerada pelo canal oficial da organização – O UFC Fight Pass – rapidamente ganhou as redes sociais e foi motivo de piadas pelos fãs do polêmico irlandês.
