The tattoo on the chest of Brock Lesnar, which some members of the WWE Universe have described as a giant phallus, has a rather interesting story behind it.

autobiography, Death Clutch: My Story of Determination, Domination, and Survival, “The Beast Incarnate” revealed that he got the tattoo, which is actually shaped as a sword, because he was feeling very stressed about his life in 2005.

“I felt like life was holding a sword right up against my throat, so I went under the ink gun because I never wanted to forget exactly how I felt at that time. The tattoo on my chest has so much meaning to me. In some ways, it’s funny, because the period of my life that I’m talking about is a time I so want to forget, but I know I can use this memory as motivation.”

I remember when Brock first got that thing,
. The cross guard came later, so you can imagine how it looked without it....

no, this is mind-blowing info. there was a time when the dick sword had no cross guard? i never even knew what it was called until then. without that, it must have looked unmistakably like a man's angry hand grabbing the base of an extraordinary tumescent member.

It's supposed to be a UNIFORM not an EXPRESSION

Uniforms don't belong in 1-on-1 sports.

They have a whopping six color schemes to cover 600 fighters, and unless you're a champion or choose the "international" grey and white scheme, you have four color choices for every country in the world. You don't even get a choice of colors, it's just that red, blue, green, and yellow were chosen because they intersect with every national flag in the world.

There's no artistry, or passion, or creativity put into the flags, it's literally just about efficiency, and it's been like this since the beginning of the deal.

To be fair, this whole deal appears to have been Lorenzo's idea and Dana just went along with it. Cody McKenzie losing a pair of shorts on the day he fought on a Fox show, and subsequently fighting with a pair of Nike shorts he'd bought that day with the price tag still attached, likely contributed since it pissed Dana White off something fierce. Mac Danzig wearing shorts reading "Not For Sale" on his ass on the main card of the very same show, and then the commentators explaining what that meant, probably contributed further, even if he received no public condemnation for it. This was December of 2013 and Lorenzo may have come up with the idea for uniforms by Monday.

The McKenzie gaff was embarrassing for the UFC, but could have been solved easily if they'd just decided to have an intern carry a suitcase full of emergency replacement gear for everyone on any given card in such a case. Print up some shorts (and women's tops) in every size, replace the whole batch once a year or something. Whoever is in charge of gloves, make it their responsibility. Maybe once or twice a year someone might need replacement shorts. It was a <$10,000 / yr. issue that the UFC could have dealt with surgically, but instead they decided they needed official uniforms for the entire roster, and instead of going for quality, they went with a company that would pay them the most for the privilege. Under Armour was a company they worked with early on on this, and leaked early designs showed that they actually left room for sponsorships, so it was like a Reebok request not to do that.

The UFC's solution to this rather minor problem was akin to trying to kill a fly with napalm.

It all just feels too forced and shows that Reebok (and to a large extent, the UFC) are out of touch with the fighters and fan base.
