Pound-for-Pound the Best in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) Commentary …

The reasoning is pretty simple. The UFC pays all the costs in regards to producing, advertising, etc for a show.

One More Round pays nothing to the UFC for advertisement rights so their product can be shown on fighters shorts or whatever on a PPV or free show.

UFC says if you want your product to be advertised in our shows, you need to pay us some money.

The fighters get paid their money for plenty of other things than just getting in the ring with the logo on their shorts. They appear in ads, as pictured above, show up to events for the product, etc. So it’s well within the UFC’s rights to expect some sort of compensation for featuring their product.

Does it suck? Sure, I guess so. But welcome to the wonderful world of business. Do you think any Affliction fighters get away with not wearing some sort of Affliction garb? Doubtfully, not that I’ve paid much attention.
