Terence Crawford, Rihanna and Kendrick Lamar

Fans won’t soon forget what happened last weekend at The Sphere, where Merab Dvalishvili defeated Sean O’Malley in the bantamweight title bout. The visuals from the event left a lasting impression on fans. The drama continued at UFC 306 when viewers mistakenly identified unbeaten world champion Terence Crawford as singer Kendrick Lamar, causing the photo to go viral on social media. Recently, fans have also started roasting ‘Bud’ online over his photos with Rihanna.

Although the mix-up with Dana White’s promotion was unintentional, the boxing icon recognizes that it was an honest mistake. Recently, fans have taken shots at ‘Bud’ Crawford for being mistakenly labeled as Kendrick Lamar. One fan defended Crawford, demanding respect, and wrote, “This is Kendrick Lamar. Y’all disrespectful!”

Meanwhile, one fan suggests the ‘Not Like Us’ rapper would be crying seeing this.

On the other hand, one fan suggests it’s not Lamar but A$AP Rocky.

One hilariously fan name-drops the song “Loyalty,” which is a famous collaboration between Lamar and Rihanna.

Terence Crawford Responds To Mistaken Identity As Kendrick Lamar at UFC 306

The UFC crowd had a great laugh when Crawford was mistakenly identified as Kendrick Lamar, turning it into one of the viral highlights from UFC 306. Crawford believes the mix-up was intentional. Fans quickly jumped on social media to make jokes about the incident, and both Crawford and UFC boss Dana White enjoyed the situation. Speaking with TMZ Sports, Crawford said,

“I wasn’t in tune with the broadcast had post me and called me Kendrick Lamar, so I’m just not taking any notice of it and then I started seeing the pictures coming to my phone and everybody laughing like,’oh man they got you messed up’, and then I just took a little chuckle… To be honest, I think it was intentionally done just for laughters because how can you get us mixed up.”

Despite the blunder, White has set a new benchmark in the combat sports industry with what turned out to be a historic event. The visuals and overall experience were truly unique for many viewers. Overall, it was a successful event for White. Fans will now be eagerly waiting to see something as impactful as UFC 306 in the future.
