Why Reebok?

Bored at work and started thinking how the hell Reebok nailed the exclusive ufc deal. Two months before Nike was signing big names in mma (Jones, Silva , jds ,...ect) . adidas was starting to pick up some other blue chip fighters as well.

I don't even recall Reebok sponsoring any fighters until the deal became public.

Was Nike scared by the Jones- dc brawl that much? I kinda feel like Jones is to blame for big name athletic sponsors removing their names from the proverbial hat.

Im sure Adidas is pretty upset they lost out to Reebok.

Hold........hold........

Yeah they should have came up with a Jr. Company with Reebok being the father company to avoid the disparaging slams on Twitter and such. Perhaps adidas and Nike are watching this all play out before they take a shot at bellator.

you do know that adidas owns reebok right?

Don't know why I always thought it would be under armour for some reason. Phone Post 3.0

They were the top bidder, which should tell you what the big sponsors think about the potential for MMA apparel. Right now it's looking like a mistake for everyone involved, which is terrible for MMA if they ever hope to grow beyond getting piecemeal scraps from low level players.

No, I haven't bought anything UFC related but I always wear reebok sneakers and especial shorts. I'm a PE teacher and reebok has always been my brand of choice. Go look at the cool sneaker thread and check out the sneakers in the OP. I just got those for the upcoming school year. As for the UFC outfits, I'm not going to lie - I think everything looks cool as fukk. I just don't want to spend that much money on any of it right meow. Phone Post 3.0

And fukk whoever voted me down for it. I'll strangle you with my reebok underwear! Phone Post 3.0
