The UFC made a glaring mistake during its latest broadcast.
On Saturday night at UFC Vegas 78, the UFC noted that fighter Tafon Nchukwi was the only Cameroonian-born fighter to ever fight in the UFC.
The stat is factually incorrect, considering former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou was born in Cameroon.
Ngannou took to Twitter to address the error.

Ngannou also pointed out that Thierry Sokoudjo was another Cameroonian fighter to fight in the UFC.
Thierry Sokoudjou was the first Cameroonian in the UFC. I was second. Don’t let them lie and erase history 🇨🇲❤️🥇 pic.twitter.com/4ZSSRZtcyo
