Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) held a special media press conference earlier today (Tues., June 30, 2015) in New York City to unveil its long-awaited "Fight Kit" from Reebok.
Watch the video replay here.
Under the new sponsorship agreement, which gets underway at UFC 189 on July 11, 2015 in Las Vegas, Nevada, mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters competing under the ZUFFA banner will wear customized Reebok uniforms broken down into three different kits: the country kit, the universal kit, and the championship kit.
UFC featherweight No. 1 contender Conor McGregor shows off his new look:

Reebok will also make variations of these uniforms available to fans, assuming you want to pay upwards of $95 to look like your favorite UFC fighter. As far as today's presser, not much was said that fans haven't already heard. The new uniforms -- and the accompanying fighter bonuses -- are great for the sport, everybody wins, you will love it, blah, blah, blah.
