Ban Hammer

The UFC has just made it a lot harder for fighters to gain a sponsorship from a clothing company. Sam Kaplan at fiveounces of pain was able to confirm that the UFC has dropped the ban hammer on quite a few sponsors that currently sponsor fighters.

According to the article the UFC has banned Dethrone, One More Round, and Rolling Stone. The UFC has also banned online poker sponsors for UFC 100 Full Tilt Poker, Ultimate Bet, and Party Poker.

To make matters worse, companies will have to pay a $100,000 fee to the UFC to gain the ability to sponsor a fighter during a UFC promoted event.
