Every year the UFC holds a fighters summit in Las Vegas, and requires all of their athletes to attend.
The promotion brings in world expert speakers on everything from branding to health and nutrition, in order to better prepare their athletes for business and combat.
The 2017 summit has delivered fireworks unlike any other though.
Earlier we learned that Cris Cyborg and Angela Magana got in a fight, and now we’re hearing about a fighter who protested the UFC’s sponsorship program with Reebok, and got escorted out for it.
Check it:
Earlier, at the UFC retreat in LV, Kajan Johnson spoke up @ a Reebok discussion about his displeasure w/ the deal. It was tense, I'm told. https://t.co/9Bd3PrnlJL
