Emanuel Newton is happy to be in Bellator. And that extends all the way down to his preference of attire.
Starting in July, UFC fighters have had to wear Reebok for their walkouts, fights and during fight week promotional events. That kind of homogenization is definitely not "The Hardcore Kid's" style.
"I couldn't imagine myself just all Reebok'd out," Newton said. "I haven't worn Reebok since the old-school hardcore days back in like high school. Reebok is not my thing. And like I said, just looking around, everybody is dressed in the same thing, I feel like I'm part of a cult or something.
