Werdum handed out 45k free masks for the fans to wear during his fight. I'm sure you have seen them during this past weeks activities. UFC banned them and Werdum isn't happy about it.
I wonder their reasoning. Those masks are hilarious and great for Werdum's brand. But Zuffa has ALWAYS been about diminishing individual appeal in favor of soulless robot fighters
It creates an unfair psychological advantage for Werdum. I'm pretty sure walking out past 10,000 people that look like your opponent might create doubts or expose fears. I'm not saying it should be banned, I just think it can be abused as a strong weapon.
