Twitter had jokes about Yancy Medeiros not being American thanks to UFC-Austin poster

The UFC released the official poster for UFC Fight Night 126, and the design has people asking one question: Is Yancy Medeiros not an American?

Medeiros, who is from Hawaii, takes on Donald Cerrone in the welterweight headliner. And in the co-main event, Derrick Lewis takes on Marcin Tybura in a heavyweight clash.

Here’s the UFC Fight Night 126 poster that was put out today (via Twitter):

Interesting design choice with the American flags included.

Three out of the four main eventers are American, with Tybura (16-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC) hailing from Poland, yet only two of them, Cerrone (32-10 MMA, 19-7 UFC) and Lewis (18-5-1 MMA, 3-2 UFC), have flags draped over their shoulder? What about Medeiros (15-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC)? Hawaii became part of the United States in 1959, you know.

Folks on Twitter wondered about the same thing.

UFC Fight Night 126 takes place Feb. 18 at Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas. It will air on FS1 following prelims on UFC Fight Pass.
