Even if you are no longer fighting in the UFC, you get to the keep your fancy Reebok Fight Kit and apparently can even fight in it as well.
On Saturday, former UFC veteran Diego Brandao fought in Russia at EFN 58 and scored an impressive second-round submission victory Murad Machaev. Brandao was on his back and Machaev was towering over him, trying to transition. The Brazilian propelled him up into the air with his feet and executed a transition to an armbar for the win.
The talk of the fight though was the fact of Brandao competing in his UFC Reebok trunks.

It was Brandao’s first fight since he was released by the UFC last April after getting arrested on four felony counts, including aggravated battery with great bodily harm when he pistol-whipped and punched men outside a strip club in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
He was 6-4 in the UFC and lost to Dustin Poirier and current lightweight champion Conor McGregor.
