Wanderlei Silva disses UFC's new Reebok uniforms, insinuates that McGregor - Mendes was fixed!
The new UFC “Fight Kit” from Reebok was revealed at the UFC 189 event this past Saturday at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Vegas. And the MMA community is not so impressed with the new uniform design, leading one of the former fighters to say it looked like the costumes from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie. It was none other than the former UFC light heavyweight and middleweight contender, Wanderlei Silva, as he posted the following on his Facebook page:
"Really bad the new brand! I DON 'T like I DON' T WANT, the fighters need sponsors give money in the shirts and shoes! I found it horrible the clothes, the brand that is in the event, shaking bad taste, do not have our face, to see who do not understand anything of our world, our athletes, need to receive sponsorship in money, to pay your bills, and not a Suitcase with T-shirts and tennis, the greatest injustice of the world our athletes cannot have sponsors, are destroying everything that lasts a long time to get!!!"
He did not stop there !! He also made a series of controversial tweets about the UFC 189 Featherweight title bout between Conor McGregor and Chad Mendes, as he asked the fans whether “it was fixed”. Below are his tweets:
Fake fights !! We will gonna be wwe, this is finish the line , I am so sad!

Translated: "Was the fight fixed? What do you guys think? If it was, then we have really reached the end of the line”
