Leon Edwards shocked the world with his late come-from-behind victory over Kamaru Usman courtesy of an incredible head kick. The welterweight champion, however, was not afforded the courtesy of a photo shoot with his newly acquired belt, per a Reddit user.

Reddit user u/starfoxzeronie spotted that Edwards' updated image with the championship belt on the UFC's website was Photoshopped. Apparently, the former champion Usman's right arm was digitally incorporated on Edwards' body.

"I’ve just realised that the photo of Leon with belt has Usman’s arm and belt photoshopped onto him lmao."

Fans ridiculed the UFC for their lack of effort and elaborated on further details that were incorporated from Kamaru Usman's image.

"Googled Leon Edwards, this is the image that comes up for him holding the belt. That’s pretty lazy. They polished the shoulder too lmao.."
"How did you even discover that? That is crazy attention to Detail"
"Autism"

Fans also offered various other possibilities and gave further examples of the UFC doing similar Photoshopping with other fighters.

"Just another example of how fucking cheap the UFC are with their website and updating fighters. Imagine if it was actually Tyron Woodleys arm and not Usmans lol"
"Each division has a white and a black arm on file, and they just shop it on every new champ"
"That’s originally GSP’s arm"

Daniel Cormier believes Khamzat Chimaev should be concerned after the announcement of Kamaru Usman vs. Leon Edwards

Leon Edwards is set to defend his title for the first time against Kamaru Usman at UFC 286. The trilogy matchup will go down in Edwards' home country of England in London.

Daniel Cormier spoke on the DC & RC Show about his concerns surrounding Khamzat Chimaev and the fact that the Russian-born Swede has no matchup announced yet:

"For me, it's a big concern because now we're through the first quarter of the year, right? This [fight] is [in] March. So Khamzat is not in the first quarter. Who and when does he fight? He isn't in a position right now where he is a once-a-year type of guy. You need him at the beginning of the year, [and] you need him at the end of the year if you want to still establish him as a guy that could challenge."

Cormier also stated that he would like to see Chimaev on the same card as Leon Edwards vs. Kamaru Usman 3.
