Rumored UFC photoshopping Usman's arm and belt on multiple fighters for photos

Fake news. Hill has a tattoo on his arm and Usman doesn’t.

Looks like the UFC used Usman's arm and belt and photoshopped it onto Leon and Hill.

Somebody on Reddit pointed this out recently. Then it started making the rounds on Twitter.

Huge if true.
I wouldn't put it past them honestly.

But Hill still has his tattoo, and is a different shade of black. Unless you're suggesting they photo shopped all of that too
 
Hill was pretty busted up after the fight, kinda makes sense to use a shopped stock image to get the pic out quick (alternative would be to take photos of each fighter with a belt before the fight, but that's what a professional org would do ;))

Wonder if they did this when there's a new lower-melanine champ tho

The veins are identical

Everything is idenctical, the shape of the muscles etc. Somebody shooped the tattoo and skin colour.

Hill's arm does seem to be shaped quite differently.

Pretty hilarious.

Imagine some UFC intern having jpgs titled "Black champion belt holding arm", "White champion belt holding arms" etc. in his work folder.
 
They do this with new champs who they don’t yet have official pictures of posing with their belts.

They usually make those pictures fight week, but they need an image of the guys with a belt for earlier promotion stuff.
I could be wrong but I thought they had the challenger pose with the belt pre-fight to have if they won?
