Joe Rogan weighed in on the hilarious mishap by the promotion in misidentifying Terence Crawford as Grammy winner Kendrick Lamar.<\/p>\n
Boxing legend Terence Crawford recently hung up the gloves after his win over Canelo Alvarez last year. Crawford is regarded as one of the greatest boxers of all time, and he transformed himself into a global superstar with his victory over Alvarez.<\/p>\n
Outside of boxing, Crawford remains an avid fan of UFC fights, despite his critical remarks about the differences between the two sports. He\u2019s seen at numerous high-profile UFC events, including the promotion\u2019s lone card at the Las Vegas Sphere in 2024.<\/p>\n
While sitting Octagonside with Turki Alalshikh at UFC 306, Crawford was seen on the broadcast during the UFC\u2019s \u2018crowd cam\u2019 segment. The problem: the byline underneath Crawford\u2019s live image read \u2018Kendrick Lamar\u2019, in a clip that went viral on social media.<\/p>\n
Crawford believes the gaffe was purposeful<\/a>, but Joe Rogan explained to the boxing legend what happened leading up to the mistake.<\/p>\n Joe Rogan clears the air behind infamous Terence Crawford\/Kendrick Lamar mix-up<\/p>\n In a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience<\/a>, after Crawford accused the UFC of purposely staging the gaffe, Rogan wasn\u2019t having it.<\/p>\n Dana White: \u201cTerence Crawford did kinda look like Kendrick Lamar\u2026\u201d \ud83d\udc80 pic.twitter.com\/T1fNMULNNc<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Happy Punch (@HappyPunch) September 15, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cNo. No way. No way. No, no, no, it was just some moron in the truck,\u201d Rogan said to Crawford.<\/p>\n \u201cNo. 100 percent, they did not do that on purpose. No one in the UFC would ever disrespect you like that. No one would disrespect you like that. No chance.<\/p>\n \u201cThey did not do that on purpose. That was just some dumba\u2013 that thought that you were Kendrick Lamar for some reason. It was so stupid. And then I think they corrected it later in the broadcast. I don\u2019t know who it was.
