Gegard Mousasi Sponsorship woes had been dominating a portion of Gegard Mousasi ’s life when things made a turn with the announcement the UFC middleweight fighter had landed a major sponsorship as the brand ambassador for Bridgestone . Prior to the Bridgestone deal, Mousasi’s (37-5-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) sponsor-related headlines had taken on a decidedly negative tone as he filed suit against MMA apparel brand Fear the Fighter. The story of how Bridgestone and Mousasi came together was told by Mousasi’s manager, Nima Safapour, during a recent spot on MMAjunkie Radio. “I think that deal was really meaningful for us,” Safapour said. “Not only for the fact that it was a good payday and whatnot, but I think it was also really meaningful because it represents that there are a certain number of guys out there who can really be great brand ambassadors. Specifically with Gegard, he’s been a guy who really is showing that he fights inside the cage just as aggressively as he fights out of the cage for his principles.
