UFC/Reebok Sponsorship

[BigNasty]

The reality is that Sherdog is the wrong place for any insightful discussion on anything related to MMA.

It is flame wars between nuthuggers. Pick a side and have fun.

Ahh - finally some good advice! No wonder I typically stick to the sports book MMA section.

Ahh looks like I'm busted! If only one day I can achieve gold belt my life would be complete.

Note to self - I sure hope BigNasty1344666333 is still available

In all my years on Sherdog, you're the first guy to ever say "haha, you post a lot." For real.

To be honest, I noticed that the betting section is the best place for objective MMA discussion on any forum.

Open a thread saying something slightly negative about Lyoto Machida in the heavies. You will receive nasty responses by people who watched "Kickboxer" a thousand times and have a poster of bruce lee in their bedroom.

The heavies are "moderated", but it is a trolling section of the forum for the most part.

Get used to it.

Well then look on the bright side - an "idiot white belt" just stated the obvious.

In all seriousness though, I didn't like the Reebok deal at first but I wasn't sure how it would work out in the long run. Now that the UFC is selling it seems like there wasn't a long run - it just seems like a money grab, a way to increase their balance sheets.

I think this will be a problem for the new owners but Zuffa will run into the sunset with their bag of money and potentially kill the sport in the process.

Is there another individual sport that has mandated sponsors?
PGA = no
Tennis = no
Auto racing = no
Bowling = no
Track & field = no
WTF am I missing = NO

 

[Steiger]

I've been adamant about this in the past, but the fighters got taken to the cleaners on that rotten Reebok deal.

 

[USAUSA1]

Reebok look is clean. All they have to do is add more colors.

Maybe use the search and go back and read all the other fucking threads on this.

Fucking white belt

 

[Rondas Pillow]

Hahaha.. What is that suppose to mean? Considering you are "Ronda's pillow", I don't expect you to talk much, but for someone who joined last year you should just keep your fingers away from the keyboard or at least reply with something meaningful? I've been an MMA fan from the beginning and I'm talking about a serious issue that effects the sport you are supposedly so passionate about.

Do you even sherdog bro?

If you ask people to ignore something, then you can expect people to only focus on that in hopes for a response like this lol

You're right bro! I know hundreds of people who stopped watching all MMA because they were upset that their favourite fighter couldn't wear condom depot adverts on their shorts during UFC fights.
