Fox Sports’ graphic for Conor McGregor v Jose Aldo has been causing some controversy

Poor Jose

Was this a huge oversight or an intentional dig at Jose Aldo?

An eagle-eyed redditer spotted something odd during Fox Sports 1’s MMA coverage on Wednesday night.

During a segment on the upcoming featherweight title unification bout between Conor McGregor and Jose Aldo, reddit user DameSirLordALW noticed something slightly amiss with their choice of graphic. See if you can spot it below.

FS1 UFC 194

The American TV network decided to use a photo of the interim champion carrying his new belt, while Aldo, who was the first and only featherweight champion in the UFC, appears without his golden strap.

Considering that Aldo has held his belt for over five years, while McGregor only won his in July, the people of reddit were not pleased with the disrespect shown towards the Brazilian fighter.
