Reebok is selling fictitious Norifumi Yakovlev UFC fight kits

Norifumi Yamamoto and Alexander Yakovlev apparently have formed one person.

It's been three days since Reebok's thoroughly disastrous unveiling of its UFC fighter kits, which have been riddled with numerous errors, inconsistencies, and misspellings. The most basic but easily most humorous gaffe was calling Gilbert Melendez "Giblert", but I think Giblert has just taken a back seat as of today.

You see, there's this Japanese MMA legend known as Norifumi Yamamoto, more commonly known as "Kid" Yamamoto. Multiple weight classes above him is a Russian lightweight by the name of Alexander Yakovlev, who hasn't accomplished quite as much as Kid did in his heyday.
