For me its wheaties and pettis. Such a big deal was made about this and since then it was one loss after the other.

Other notable ones: dude wipes / tyron woodley and nike / jon jones

Are there any other exemples of sponsorships gone wrong in the ufc/mma worst than these?
 
Does Brock Lesnar yelling about what beer he drinks in violation of the UFC's sponsored brand?

He was standing on the logo in the center of the octagon

I don't even remember what the brands were anymore
 
Yeah, but I had fighters on my mind. Not the organization.

Was it frank mir who won a harley davidson and then had an accident weeks later that prevented him from taking a fight?? Am i going crazy here? Has this happened to anyone?
 
lol its true.. since Pettis was on the Wheaties box he has gone 0-3 and looked a shell.
 
Coleman was never the same after the flying banana heel hook.

Both Mark and Wanderlei lost all punch resistance they once had after this gig.

yeah agree with TS. It was kinda a big deal then...the first ufc/mma fighter ever to grace the cover of wheaties box.
