It is arguable that the most criticized aspect of the UFC today is the promotion’s outfitting deal with sports apparel giant Reebok. This outfitting deal is constantly trashed<\/a> by fans and fighters alike, primarily for the its often paltry payouts, but also for its total lack of aesthetic variety. With the exception of national colors, and a bit of gold for title-holding fighters, the Reebok ‘fight kits’ as we have come to know them are all pretty similar.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, that is finally changing.<\/p>\n

The UFC and Reebok have announced a massive overhaul of their fight kits, which will allow main and co-main event<\/a> fighters to extensively customize their gear. The updated fight kits \u2013 part of a series called the “UFC Legacy Series” \u2013 will debut at this weekend’s UFC 215<\/a>, meaning that we’ll see headliners Demetrious Johnson and Ray Borg<\/a>, and co-headliners Amanda Nunes and Valentina Shevchenko walking out in much more unique gear.<\/p>\n

See pictures of Demetrious Johnson, Ray Borg, Amanda Nunes and Valentina Shevchenko’s flashy new walkout gear below:<\/p>\n

\"Demetrious<\/p>\n

\"Amanda<\/p>\n

The UFC 215 main card will also feature a welterweight bout between Rafael dos Anjos and Neil Magny, a light heavyweight bout between Ilir Latifi and Tyson Pedro, and a featherweight bout between Gilbert Melendez and Jeremy Stephens. Regrettably, these fighters won’t be rocking the same customized gear as the card’s headliners and co-headliners. They will. however, be wearing some modified Reebok gear that also stands out as a big improvement. See some photos of the updated, standard UFC fight kits below, modelled by some of the sport’s biggest stars.<\/p>\n

What do you think of this overhaul of the UFC’s outfitting deal with Reebok? Is this a step in the right direction, or should better payouts have taken priority over better designs?<\/p>\n
