Every Wednesday, Administrative Editor Jordan Breen welcomes a member of the mixed martial arts media into “Press Row” on the Sherdog.com blog. This week, Breen is joined by MMAJunkie and USA Today writer Mike Bohn.
After the unveiling of the short-lived and ill-conceived UFC Ireland t-shirt on Tuesday, Breen and Bohn break down all the latest drama in the UFC-Reebok drama, pondering how exactly such a politically insensitive product could've gotten greenlit. The pair discuss reactions to the news online and on the ground in Dublin ahead of the UFC's card this Saturday, why there is only eight UFC fighters' kits listed on Reebok's site and the likely role of middle management in the relationship's repeated gaffes this year.
Breen and Bohn also discuss Chris Weidman's new Reebok deal, the middleweight king's “All-American” custom sneakers, how they stack up with other MMA fighters' custom sneakers such as Anderson Silva, Jon Jones and noted fashionista Caol Uno.
