    Never have I seen a person wearing Reebok fight gear outside of the UFC. Godawful stuff. When the UFC was trendy in the 00's you would see that stuff everywhere. People (mostly Twitter uncles) still wear Affliction shit.

    The deal is supposedly going to run out this year with the UFC (DFW's) guarantee of "100% of the money going to the fighters" falling short so far by about HALF (supposedly about $33MM/$70MM).

    The UFC is looking for a new sponsor.

    I second both of those notions...the reebok gear is trash and I've only seen one person wear it outside of the UFC and we roasted the shit out of him at the fight party. Secondly, I expect UA to step up as well.
