Taking to Monday’s “The MMA Hour”, newly inked Bellator middleweight fighter Gegard Mousasi kept it all the way real on the UFC’s Reebok deal, and he says no one likes it.
Check it:
“Let’s be honest, Reebok was there to sell the company. It was never to help the fighters out. Reebok became UFC because they wanted to sell it for $4 billion. It’s as simple as that, to make the sport more global.
Just to sell it, but it was terrible for the fighters. No one complains about Reebok because if you complain, you are going to get, you know, it will get messy, they may fire you. People cannot talk about it and say ‘Reebok sucks.’ But we all know the truth.
They cannot even make good tanks or shorts.
What can I say, it’s the same thing. I don’t know. I was not happy with the Reebok deal. I think 99-percent of the fighters were not happy with the Reebok deal, Reebok is not happy with the deal, UFC is not happy with the Reebok. But it is what it is.”
Thoughts?
