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.”
