Bobby Lashley on UFC + Reebok deal: Fighters are going to have to stand up for themselves

One of Bellator's most recognizable name fighters shares his thoughts on the UFC's recent move to line up their fighters with Reebok sponsorship.

There are some fighters that are going to do better with their in cage sponsors than others. If you wanted to pin point a fighter outside the UFC who probably makes more on sponsorship than he does in purse money, Bobby Lashley might be a fair bet. With his pro-wrestling career, his massive physique, and the benefits of being a heavyweight (which almost always guarantees a feature main-card slot), he just feels like the kind of fighter that does pretty well with his money outside the ring.
