CM Punk UFC Fight Kit
Reebok unveiled a new line of UFC fight kits today, including one for former WWE star and UFC trainee CM Punk. The event was marred by several spelling and name errors by Reebok, which was not well-received many of the fighters, or the public.
Some of the ‘notable’ mistakes featured Punk’s top spelled out as “Philip Brooks” (his given name, missing an ‘l’), “Giblert Melendez”, mixing up two fighters (Lyoto Machida and Marcio “Lyoto” Alexandre) s among several others. “Filthy” Tom Lawlor and “Rowdy” Bec Rawlings even took issue with Reebok not considering the fighters’ input or researching, as their full names were written out, even though neither has ever been billed as such.
Although the event was pretty much a disaster for Reebok (and UFC), many people have been having fun with it, as seen by some of the Tweets below:
Bad news for Lyoto Machida fans and good news for Marcio “Lyoto” Alexandre fans (or should I say Marcio Machida)? pic.twitter.com/5qfYHkPDYG
