“They can run. But they can’t hide.” -Conor McGregor

REEBOK
” this shit sucks!!!!! Not impressed @reebok!!! And you better check that agreement b/c @UFC doesn’t have my apparel rights. *2nd @reebok you should be ashamed of the fighter’s pay on this deal. It’s not good for the fighters & you know it. @bellatormma doesn’t TAX sponsorship. #FightersUnion #FightOutYOURContracts” -Josh Koscheck
“I’d change a lot about designs of forced uniforms, that’d be 1 of’em…would want a blend of RED, WHITE & BLUE flags ” -Ben Henderson
“.@Reebok @ufc never once have I been announced as Thomas Lawlor. Thanks for putting the fighters at the forefront of the clothing #smh” -Tom Lawlor
“If some of the Reebok money went to administration costs for crew in charge of the gear then they got a low ROI at this point. Infuriating” -Tom Lawlor
“So with this new Reebok deal, does that mean my shirt would say Daniel and not Dan? That would be #Weird…” -Dan Hardy
“Wow I can’t have my name spelled correctly per ufc policy…no ~ over the N in my name. #yourmajesty… @Reebok I’m Mexican your robbing me of having my name correct while I represent my home country. #yourmajesty #vivamexico” -Angela Magana
“Yo @Reebok my name is BEC.. only my mother can call me Rebecca ” -Bec Rawlings
“About to put on my @headrushbrand fight kit and go to the gym so I can train.” -Dustin Poirier
“Pretty stoked they spelled my name right tbh” -Stipe Miocic
“$85 for my @Reebok Jersey?! It’s safe to say no1 in my family will own one.. Theyve never paid more than $35 for a shirt.. #cheapfamilyprobs” -Corey Anderson
“My brother @khabib_nurmagomedov wearing the new @reebok @ufc champion hat. He assured me it’s only a matter of time, so he doesn’t mind wearing it now. He is much more humble now even tho he is waaaaaaay more famous. :)” -Daniel Cormier
To be fair, it’s not just Reebok who has McGregor labeled as a BJJ fighter… #EA pic.twitter.com/2mI14Hqr5F
