This is much wittier than the loser leaves town angle.
will each uniform be unique to a fighter or will everyone wear the same generic uniform? anyone know?
Well.... that's beyond refreshing to see.
If more mma athletes realize how much of the power they actually have in the UFC/how little the company has without them and start making their voices heard they can make a big start to make a big difference in the sport.

This is huge watching this unfold.
Norman Parke's tweet I saw was basically "Fighters should shut up about sponsors and fight"
Essentially marking himself as the Samuel Jackson in Django of the UFC.

The Ariel Helwani of fighters. Company man.
Economist Paul Gift at BloodyElbow did a great job breaking down the numbers based on past events to help us understand how this will likely play out.
BE Analytics: Breaking down the money in the Reebok sponsorship tiers - Bloody Elbow
It's not pretty. Things like this are why other sports eventually formed players associations. Can you think of other major sports with a uniform deal in place where the athletes had no say in how the money is broken down?

Nope and I hope this bites Zuffa in the ass bigger than anyone can possibly imagine. The way they conduct business has disgusted me for years.
I recommend everyone read this.

This was a great read. Also found this super interesting in the comments:
c)And if the Reebok deal really is $70 million, then what should have been the values of the money tiers inorder to use all the deal?
3. If we want an annual pace to get to $70 million, ignoring side deals, using my 6.44 million 2015 estimate, each tiered payment would need to increase by a little more than 81%.
"Um Um uh yess sir Master Dana, uh yes sir, fuck their dollar Master Dana, fuck their dollar indeed!"
MMAFA has been around for a while. The lawyer behind it, Rob Maysey, is one of the lawyers involved in the anti trust class action against Zuffa.
