Fabricio Werdum got more than he bargained for with his protest against Reebok.
Werdum, the former UFC heavyweight champion, revealed Friday in an Instagram post that he has been fired from his television duties as an analyst and commentator on the UFC's Spanish-speaking broadcasts. Werdum said the decision was meant to serve as a punishment for speaking out against the UFC's divisive partnership with Reebok as an exclusive apparel sponsor.
In speaking with MMA Fighting on Friday, Werdum confirmed that he has been cut from the various television obligations he has worked for the UFC in Latin America over the last several years.
