    Like Xbox Sponsors "Mighty Mouse?"

    I was just wondering, cause it seems like UFC has exclusivity deals with Microsoft.. Every time you see UFC promoting their own game, it's always on XBox.

    I've noticed that Xbox logo before. Never got the clue as to why a fighter would not wear the Nintendo WiiU or Sony PS4 brand to earn extra money.

    Well the UFC has an "approved sponsor" list.. I just wonder if Playstation is even on it.

    If Microsoft is paying licensing fees to sponsor these fighters then they probably have it in writing that a direct competitor is not allowed a sponsorship license

    I'm sure they would especially when you have people when condom depot logos on.

    Playstation is sponsoring Top Rank Boxing on HBO. They know that Boxing is Bigger than UFC.

    Good question. Condom depot logo is cringeworthy

    This, the whole ring was PS4 themed in boxing last night. Also the UFC has had some PS exclusive games on the cage before, I remember seeing God of War 3 on the cage before and Uncharted as well I believe. So maybe Sony just isn't sponsoring any fighters right now if ever.

    It would have been pretty cool if Dodson was sponsored by Playstaion when he fought Demetrious Johnson so it would be like Xbox Vs Playstaion.
