UFC "Fight Kit"

Question

Since no one else has brought this up, I will.

First of all what a stupid name.

I never watched the preset just saw the photos, but I'm not a fan of everyone dressing the same.

The Cro Cop flag shorts. ice Man blue. The Spider yellow. The individuality is gone.

Not to mention most of the fighters seem to be getting paid less, while a big Corp takes over on a massive platform to display their logo.

Agreed some of the low end short's ads are questionable but couldn't they slap their logo on a fighters choice of short styles?

I think it was on Sherdog where a writer believed Dana held out on the Aldo announcement to have it within hours of this announcement so everyone would bitch less about them both

That&#x27;s "presser", not "preset"... And Covers substitutes "bi*$h&#x27; with "girl"? That&#x27;s not very nice!

It&#x27;s pretty horrible.  Nobody in the public is going to buy this garbage, and the athletes are getting screwed out of money.  Pretty sure the fight kits are universally hated given all the bad press... Like literally zero positive reviews or articles.

Yeah, the whole reebok things is pretty horrible for the fighters overall.  What other individual sports have this type of uniform?  Tennis doesn&#x27;t, boxing doesn&#x27;t...  Mama is not a team sport, the fighters need their own &#x27;players association&#x27; and stick together to solve some of these ridiculous things the UFC does.  The main fighters could all strike, UFC would cave and give in eventually. These fighters deserve a higher pay. UFC is screwing the fighters huge in % of revenues.

I agree.  The whole thing sucks.  Fighters deserve more pay.  The are out there risking their lives and are getting screwed in terms of pay compared to pretty much all other major sports.  Hopefully, it will eventually get better for them as the sports grows and matures.

A kit is another term for a uniform. Most europeans call their soccer/football uniforms kits. Just fyi.But yes, I agree with all your assessments on this.

You guys should look up the schaub (not sure of spelling) and the Dana ordeal.  Schaub said he was making 100k from his sponsors for a fight, Dana made fun of him and said he was lying.  Rogan actually stood up for schaub and said Dana basically pissed on schaub because Rogan knows schaub was telling the truth and that there are plenty of fighters getting screwed with this new reebok deal. Schaub took the high road though and didn&#x27;t fuel the fire after Dana did that. It&#x27;s an interesting read though, shows how much dAna is such a d&#xEF;ck

Aka, I do know that. Still don&#x27;t like it. Maybe it&#x27;ll be big in France. MS, I was following that too. It&#x27;s not a great situation for the fighters. I think the top 15-20% get taken care of pretty well. The top guys make millions. But the bottom guys are reminiscent of how the PGA was 20&#x2B; years ago. Some of the guys are living out of their cars. Yet competing on major TV with massive revenues. I think UFC just Raised the min fight pay. But it&#x27;s still $10 &#x2B; $10 or something pretty low
