Why do they make fighters wear those Reebok shorts?

[Money509]

The reebok deal is pretty dumb and pointless as everyone knows. But wtf is with forcing fighters to wear the same white and black shorts for every fight. Seriously no originality everyone just wears the same shit. The dont let silva wear yellow, dont let weidman wear blue etc. Its so lame .

What is this dumb shit they have silva wearing? they let conor wear green for the aldo fight but cant let a GOAT like silva wear yellow?

Vitor cant even wear his red sky shit he always has on and i bet jones wont be able to wear his signature red shorts either. They dont even let them have sponsors. Its just lame as shit that you dont let a fighter wear wtf he wants and if he doesnt you fine him ? Wtf is this a damn prep school wear theres a dress code?

you're getting mad about this now?? really?

 

[rambosabeast]

You're preaching to the choir.

The better question is why do they make the cornermen wear the full fight kits? They look like male college cheerleaders.

I hate the Reebok deal so much

They should just get out of the contract its so stupid the fights kits are so generic.

Because having to wear boringly colored shorts is a small price to pay considering how advanced the technology of the shorts is, and given the large amount of money fighters are making from such a high-profile sponsorship. You should be thankful.

Fighters probably made more from the old sponsors they had than with reebok. Dont they pay them like 5000 per fight to wear the dumb reebok gear?

Probably less, but that is a small price to pay considering how advanced the technology of the shorts is.

ugly as hell imo but I think its something like, "Wear this shit or dont fight." Sucks but thats business.

I feel like the shorts are too technologically advanced and make the fighters superhuman. Not even realistic fights anymore, hurts the sport more than PEDs

This is a good point. I can't believe no one has pointed it out yet. Reebok shorts should be considered a PED(performace enhancing device).

because Reebok sucks ass and gives no shits about the sport of MMA or its fighters.
