HolyRollerNovocaine Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Did anyone else think Mir sounded like he was selling something in an infommercial? I love him, but seriously what the f*ck? It sounded totally rehearsed and a bunch of BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pfizer Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Carwin reminds me of a new Mark Coleman. Anyone else seeing the resemblence? Not fighting style-wise, just by looks. Carwin looks like the offspring of Nicolas Cage & Chris Leben. im going to have to combine the 2 and say he looks like the lovechild of mark coleman and nicolas cage.

Harbinger Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Tapout kinda is the UFC Not really. Tapout is a t-shirt brand. Now if Tapout owned the UFC that would make it the UFC. They are not one in the same. It's not like Affliction where the t-shirt company actually owns part of that promotion. Tapout is a name brand that piggybacks off of the UFC. If tomorrow there were no Tapout advertisements at UFC. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't even notice it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fighters would be going to boxing or somewhere else for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fighters would be going to boxing or somewhere else for the money. They wouldn't have any issues getting more sponsors. Sponsorship for something successful pretty much finds them. As much as I really don't care for the UFC or Dana white. They do know what they are doing when it comes to advertising their product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sold t-shirts out of the back of their truck at UFC shows. UFC also made Affliction and Couture mainstream. So yeah, no t-shirt company or sponsor for that matter owns the UFC. Company's sponsor fighters to get air-time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
