The UFC has docked one of its champions for not wearing the proper Reebok apparel during a fight week activity.
Rafael dos Anjos
, the UFC lightweight champion, was fined a "significant" amount for violating the promotion's Athlete Outfitting Policy at
UFC on FOX 17
weigh-ins Dec. 18, sources told MMA Fighting.
Dos Anjos (25-7) was wearing an Evolve MMA shirt briefly before hitting the scale. The Brazilian trains part of the time at Evolve in Singapore, along with Kings MMA in Huntington Beach, Calif. The Evolve website lists dos Anjos as an instructor and says he has been part of the team since 2009. Dos Anjos has a close relationship with Evolve owner Chatri Sityodtong.

This is beyond f---ed up. Reebok will get out of this deal somehow or UFC will send them packing.
Most fighters are not happy with this deal and other sponsors were giving them way more money anyway.

I noticed in one of the articles that the UFC's enforcer is a former NFL employee who enforced their clothing policy.

His "boy" from the 209 probably made up some company name and Diaz invested. #smrtwithmoney

I honestly don't think they care what fighters think, it's always going to be about the brand. They are running it as a company, not an established sports organization (which went through bumps as well).

Your picture is contradicting. Wearing something other than Reebok will not have fans hating you, they would probably be praising you for sticking it to the man. But maybe this is just a troll job, if so, eff you.

So Reebok = getting fans to like them by fining the champ and two fan favorites?

Yeah, but for simple uniform violations, the max is $5000 which is peanuts to those guys cause the average NFL salary per year is 1.9 million.

Misunderstanding on both our parts. I thought you meant UFC fans would dislike RDA because of this. Not that UFC fans would dislike Reebok. So we on the same page haha
