    Reebok already embarrassing themselves

    After waiting for the UFC and Reebok to put out their fighter uniforms, or fight kits in industry talk, they finally unveiled them with a splash today

    UFC lightweight contender Gilbert Melendez. Unfortunately for the former Strikeforce champ, his shirt has his first name spelled "Giblert".


    former UFC light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida. I guess they got him mixed up with Marcio "Lyoto" Alexandre, so Lyoto's new first name is now Marcio


    top middleweight fighter Ronaldo Souza. Who also goes by his nickname Jacare. Sometimes Jacare Souza, sometimes Ronaldo Jacare. Well according to Reebok, apparently Jacare is his real name and Ronaldo is his nickname

    100% and he keeps the top top fighters paid.....all the fighters need to get together and take control....they need to set up funds for down the road ect......lot of these fighters take pretty hard hit toward the end of their careers..in reality the UFC is NOTHING without..its fighters and they need to realize that...this is not the NFL where another guy will take his place....his cash woul take a major hit if a bunch of the mid-level fighters left...IMO..

    I agree, I think its a joke some fighters still have to work part time jobs, Dana/UFC is nothing without the guys that fight, they need to be taken care of

    100% and the $$ needs to be big enough to lure in future talent......if the grind is that hard very few will choose that path....I also think of that video with Phil Baroni lol.....sponsored by GLAD lol.....

    Dana is a money hungry jerkoff, he could careless about the fighters. Look at all these crappy events he puts out now (almost once a week) he uses the excuse he wants to get the brand out worldwide with weekly fight cards, it already is worldwide, he just wants more money in his bank account

    I've been calling Reebok "Reebuk" for the last 20 years.

    This is a good one.

    imagine how much money the fighters are going to make with those bad boys flying off the shelves at 80$ a pop.

    Some of the fighters said they were getting paid $10K plus during Expo weekend signing for sponsors. Just a shame they lose out on that money now
