It looks like somebody's feeling the heat. Reebok recently sent out a tweet informing all Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fans that the sports apparel company had no involvement in the firing of Jacob "Sitch" Duran. This, despite the fact that the longtime cutman was let go by UFC after revealing that he also lost his sponsors and wasn't compensated by UFC after the new Reebok uniform deal went into effect earlier this month. The promotion's decision was met with heavy criticism from fans and fighters alike. And before angry fight fans turned on Reebok, the blue chip sponsor made sure to do some damage control before it got out of hand.
