I think the Reebok deal was a terrible thing to happen, for the fighters. I'm glad to see an end to it.

In all seriousness, what does this do for the fighters or consumers except a name change? Nothing.
UFC needs to go back to sponsorships or make their own merch or something.Financial Freedom/Passive Income Crew

From what I've read this morning, sources are saying the majority of the money from this deal will go to the fighters.Originally Posted by DubSilky

Not to mention, fighters can possibly have some creative control... Idk, I like that venum has been involved in the mma community for so long. I like the idea here.Imagine you're trying to jam your pork sword into some braindead sorostitute's meat wallet that night. You think you can just walk away from that?

Also don't they sponsor Vasyl Lomachenko? If that's not a cosign of product of quality I don't know what is.
Regardless, all comes down to getting the fighters paid decent money.DCA'ing FXS since Sept2022

I was hoping for Nike. Not that I would buy any of it, but bigger, better, richer brand for the UFC and the fighters.

Well, at least the UFC actually picked a company that has been involved in MMA for some time. Not some random athletic shoe company trying to get their feet wet in everything.

Reebok's merch was absolute ass, anything else would have been an improvement. Kind of wish it went to Nike since more money/exposure, but at least it's an MMA company this time around and can make a wider collection of merch for different people.

the move to Reebok was one of the most retarded decisions in ufcs history, on top of completely dikking the fighters

I think Under Armour should have gotten in - although theyre dealing with the UCLA ****. UA should always shoot for non-ball sports, exercise heavy sports. IMO UA make the best under garments. Sounds like it would have been easy money.Originally Posted by JStrez

Lolif you think Venom will provide better merch than Reebok. Venom is pure cringe start to finish. UA or Nike are the only serious options to go with tbh.

This deal is only short term.Originally Posted by Midgetkiller
Spending big money to sponsor events that might not even go ahead is just not wise rn. UFC would be hot property in normal times I would think.
