Reebok & UFC should just have all fighters wear Conor McGregor shirts (or Rousey shirts for women) and everybody gets a cut of what the shirt sells. It does two things: 1) everyone makes more money 2) Conor gets to boast about how he's the reason everyone makes more money. and of course Reebok would only have to worry about not loving up 1 shirt at that point, instead of 500 which they clearly can't manage. everybody wins

CommonShore posted:Is the quality that low? I've currently never seen or touched one, but have heard the quality described as chintzy and translucent, like they just aren't made with a good material. People who watch the fights live say they're pretty much transparent once people start to sweat. Obviously not a good look for higher end athletic apparel. TheReverend posted:Looks like they dropped the prices on the jerseys by 20 bucks too? The champion/big name gear was always cheaper because it wasn't made-to-order. This meant you had to pay more to represent Marcus Brimage than fighters people have heard of, such as Rousey or Velasquez.

Yeah that's definitely being set up as a loss for kawajiri. A 10-0 karate guy who has only fought replacement opponents, the perfect storm.

I love when hurt fighters back against the cage and then just start weaving their head in goofy circles in hopes of avoiding punches. I've yet to see that work out for anyone.
