Media The Elephant in the room

How come nobody noticed the sponsorship logo on Islam's trunks?
are they allowed again? or is it for certain fighters only?




Was there a change in the rules that I'm not aware of?

It's for certain fighters. The UFC also extended their deal with them in 2021. Monster just recently signed a deal with ONE this year as well.

You have a pink belt, which means you shouldn't be here, so make yourself a shadow.

I mean, the banner on the side of the cage probably has something to do with it.

I’m surprised that one of these babies hasn’t claimed that it’s there to hide some type of needle mark.

I wasn't aware of this? Is there any information on the payscale for fighters or champions who have an allowed monster sponsor? Good for Islam though, he deserves it.

It looks not that many people are interested in scrutinizing his groin area, after all.

But what about the Horse out the room

 

[jm5000]

Multiple fighters have had the monster sponsorship on their shorts going back yearss, you just notice this?

 

[Morning Star]

Monster is the official energy drink of the UFC. They repeat that phase ad nauseam every event.

 

[richardjohnson]

I believe Monster is the only personal sponsor fighters are able to represent in the octagon

In 2021 here was the list:

Rose Namajunas, Valentina Shevchenko, Stipe Miocic, Joanna Jedrzejcyk, Jon Jones, Justin Gaethje, and Jorge Masvidal.

I do recall McGregor having a patch and Cruz being directly sponsored by them.

As per this link they've expanded. Seems like Eblen and Islam are sponsored as well. I believe this changes often.

So are these fighters given money directly by Monster? Or is it basically Monster paying UFC and then UFC throws the patch on a few fighters' shorts and gives em like 10% of the sponsorship money?

Both seem to be the case as Reddit says Monster pays the UFC $9-$10 million a year.





Even Yahoo mentioned Monster in regards to Islam:

Something which makes me believe the report which states Monster pays their sponsored athletes monthly is how appreciative Dominick Cruz was of them when he came back from the multi-year layoff saying he couldn't have survived without sponsors when he kept getting hurt.

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

No wonder it’s so hard for Islam to cut to 155. There’s a lot of sugar in those green monsters

Monster is seen all over the place in UFC,its not unusual to see it anywhere.
