Well, this is awkward...

Remember Jonah Lomu? One of the greatest rugby players of all time? He scored 37 tries in 63 appearances for the All Blacks? He had his own video game in the mid '90s? You know the guy.

Well the researchers working for the UFC clearly don't have a clue because they made a few mistakes during their live broadcast in New Zealand the other night.

Firstly the commentator called him "Jonah La-boo" and he followed that up by calling him "one of the greatest Australian Rules Football players of all time."

 

The whole thing has got us thinking about Jonah Lomu as an MMA fighter, that would be awesome!
