“I think it’s a good thing to where people don’t have to run out and struggle to find sponsorships and all that stuff,” Johnson said. “But at the end of the day, I just don’t want people to be stripped of what they can bring in. That’s my biggest thing about it. If a person is getting paid $80,000 for something and they’re told they can’t wear it anymore and they’re losing that money, then something needs to happen about that.”
“The whole thing with the Reebok deal is (UFC President) Dana White and (chairman and CEO) Lorenzo Fertitta care about making things right,” Johnson said. “If they say this deal is going to benefit the fighters, then fantastic. It’s a six-year long deal. That’s a big deal, so hopefully it works out.
“We won’t know how good the deal is until we see the actual fine print. I think for Reebok, it’s a hell of a deal because I know what Microsoft and Xbox spend for a 20-second spot on FOX, and it’s a ridiculous amount of money, so we’ll see what happens.”
