Dave Bautista: Buying Reebok endorses UFC fighters getting screwed

Dave Bautista was watching the UFC fights this weekend, and he couldn't help but voice his displeasure with the UFC's exclusive sponsorship deal with Reebok. The 47-year-old actor, who was a former WWE superstar and 1-0 MMA fighter, took to twitter about it:

Anyone who buys that goofy UFC @Reebok shit is endorsing the fighters getting fucked out of their sponsorships. Just a thought #fuckreebok

He also responded to a couple of fans about the topic:

@DrSprigs actually it's not.I'm watching the fights and I'm tired of seeing all these Reebok commercials, knowing the fighters got screwed.

@brandoncooklin thank you! It's not about the guys on top. It's about the fighters who have to take side jobs just to feed their families.

During that very event Bautista was watching on FOX, Barnett and Rothwell earned just $5000 each from Reebok to co-headline a show on free TV.

In 2012, 'Batista' tried his hand in MMA, winning a TKO over a veteran in Vince Lucero (video here). Since then, the Filipino-American has been successful as an actor, landing numerous high profile movie roles in Hollywood.
