Thoughts on a combat sport signing a deal with an aparel company like the other major sports does?

So none of the fighters get individual sponsors now? I mean in football you can't wear beats or Addidas gear... If the UFC signs a deal I can guarantee you all those fighters will be wearing Reebok and not Tap Out while Dana White keeps all the money like he does now. If you think Haymon or Arum are bad they are saints compared to Dana White.
read the article before you talk!!!!al the money goes to the fighters!!!
WTF? Doesn't Jon Jones have a exclusive deal with Nike? Sponsorship are a huge part of UFC fighters revenue and sometimes more than they get paid to fight. I think this is gonna screw UFC fighters big time
nike cut jones after the dc brawl but fighter can use their sponsors outside of the cage.for ex gsp has an underarmoure deal but has never used them in one of his fights....

It's really confusing. They're going to put everyone in Reebok trunks with standard sponsors and pay the fighters a "sponsorship bonus" based on their arbitrary ranking within their division.
It's among the weirdest most pointless things I can recall the UFC doing.
Some other good management decisions would be signing that transvestite who fights in the women's division, allowing a randomly selected fan from the crowd to referee title fights, and having the fighters spin a "wheel of fight-ion" and fight whatever name it lands on.
The standard UFC uniform thing is going to be such a colossal failure and look so cheesy.
"The UFC announced on Tuesday the finalization of a landmark six-year partnership with Reebok, a deal which could dramatically shift the role of sponsorships in mixed martial arts. Beginning the week of July 6, 2015, the UFC will institute a sweeping new uniform program which will effectively replace all in-cage fighter sponsorships with kits produced exclusively by Reebok."
That's like American Gladiators or something... Let fighters wear their own trunks
MMA good UFC bad

Reebok is only paying UFC $70,000 dollars to put their logo up at UFC events and Dana White gets some free Reebok bumper stickers.
The only person involved with combat sports who gets 7 figure endorsement deals is Money May. He invented the frisbee.
