http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2009/11/17/1161064/news-is-that-the-ufc-has-banned News is that the UFC has banned Clinch Gear (Dan Henderson's MMA Clothing line) after UFC 105. There was a good amount of Clinch Gear shown throughout the CBS Strikeforce broadcast. There is also a strong rumor that the UFC has banned RVCA after they sponsored Fedor and appeared on the CBS Strikeforce card as well, though the brand has close ties with BJ Penn, so it would definitely be an interesting scenario if the rumor is true.
Why is the UFC doing this ****? I feel there has to be a line drawn, they are going out of their way to hurt these sponsors and fighters financially as a punishment for working with a competitor. Are there any laws against this type of behavior? If BJ gets pissed and leaves, along with a few other disgruntled fighters and they might regret this move among many other moves
Wait for the Zuffa zombies to turn up to tell about how this is is just good competition and Dana is a genius.
I almost hope BJ does leave because Dana is although im not a big basher of his hes treating people like **** and has for awhile. If Strikeforce can put on great shows and compensate the fighters who make them their money then im all for it.
Rather than bash the FU-C again today, I will simply say that Clinch Gear makes great grappling/MMA shorts. Very comfortable.
I don't think the banning of sponsers is particularly evil or even bad; banning Affliction (while they were planning on and actually staging MMA events) was a completling understandable decision, it would have been stupid not to. What pisses me off is that him banning Clinch Gear is the surest sign yet that Hendo is leaving.
Well, my RVCA Fedor shirt arrived in the mail yesterday. It is high quality and looks awesome!! It was the style shirt he [Fedor] was wearing at the strikeforce event. Let UFC ban Clinch and RVCA. I have 2 clinch gear shirts and now one RVCA. I will just BAN UFC PPV from my household. I refuse to buy anymore of thier overhyped cards again. P.S. Dana white has went from smart business man to a tyranical jackass.
This is the shirt I bought, and the site I got it from. Fast shipping (in the U.S.):good They have 3 different color choices. I like black and red though. http://www.mmawarehouse.com/RVCA-Fedor-Emelianenko-Strikeforce-T-Shirt-p/rvc-1008.htm
