Johny Hendricks In this week’s Trading Shots, retired UFC/WEC fighter Danny Downes joins MMAjunkie columnist Ben Fowlkes to discuss whether fighters are getting a raw deal in the UFC’s exclusive apparel sponsorship deal with Reebok, and what it would take for them to do something about it. Downes: Ben, this past week the numbers from the partnership between Reebok and the UFC came out. The initial reaction from fighters has been overwhelmingly negative , aside from a few out there who welcome the deal, and a few others who basically say it’s the UFC’s business to do with as it pleases . What does Ben Fowlkes think? Fighters will be affected in the short term, but isn’t this ultimately a good thing for the sport as a whole? Doesn’t Reebok lend more credibility and professionalism to the sport?
