In the image, the highlight is Cowboy Cerrone, who has a United States flag on his shoulder. However, the same does not happen with Medeiros, who was born in Hawaii, a North American state. In the background, the heavyweight Derrick Lewis also displays the United States flag when posing next to his opponent, the Polish Marcin tybura.
