The UFC has signed a 6-year fight uniform deal with Reebok. Starting July 6, no other brand will be allowed on clothing, and starting July 15, those prefight banners will not be allowed. The UFC also reserved the right to have a title sponsor for a fight, which will have a patch for everyone's uniform in that event.

Reebok will work with the fighters to design fight uniforms, fighters will have broad discretion on color and style, as long as Reebok is prominently featured on their uniform. If a fighter's specific uniform sells well, they will get a cut.

A big chunk of the money from the sponsorship deal will be set aside to pay fighters who are going to lose their own sponsorship deals, on a 5-tier system where you get paid more the higher you are ranked at weigh-in.
