Dan ‘Punkass’ Caldwell joined BJPENN.COM Radio this past Thursday to talk about TAPOUT’s rebranding, working with the WWE and the UFC’s Reebok deal. Check out some of the highlights below.<\/p>\n

When asked about the UFC Expo and if he knew anything about how it will work with other brands selling there he had this so say.<\/p>\n

“We haven’t decided what we plan on doing yet. But they did a deal, they have to live with that deal and they’ve got to move forward. So I don’t know how people are going to react to that, I don’t imagine very favorably.”<\/p>\n

TAPOUT is in the middle of an overhaul and looking to move forward to more success and different avenues and Punkass says the UFC\/Reebok deal isn’t going to crush them or defeat them, it’s just a part of the game.<\/p>\n

“You have to be constantly innovating and conscious of what’s changing in your space and be ready to move.”<\/p>\n

“This change right here, right now, is perfect for us. It’s perfect for what we’re trying to do.”<\/p>\n
