Filed under: Featured , News , UFC In this week’s Trading Shots, MMAjunkie columnist Ben Fowlkes and retired UFC and WEC fighter Danny Downes discuss former UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum ’s “protest” against Reebok, and the punishment that followed. * * * * Fowlkes: Well Danny, it’s been an interesting week for Fabricio Werdum (21-6-1 MMA, 9-3 UFC). First he fires up Photoshop to turn his Reebok kit into a Nike one, telling the UFC’s exclusive apparel sponsor, via hashtags in Portuguese, to “ suck (his) balls .” Turns out the UFC didn’t like that, so it relieved him of his Spanish-language broadcast duties . I can already feel you forming your argument in support of this move, probably by comparing fighting to any other job and also by pointing out that no one is owed a broadcasting gig. But what I want to know is, even if you can justify these knee-jerk reprisals, isn’t it just bad policy
