    Default Adidas MMA

    Noticed that at BAMMA 10 Jack Marshman was wearing Adidas MMA shorts

    Anyone know anything about this deal

    Thought it would be quite big news as adidas are the worlds 2nd largest sports apparel company

    Im sure he probably didnt get paid a huge amount but its still quite a big deal in terms of brand association

    Did a quick search on google but didnt find much except for a few images of the gear

    Not the sort of designs id expect from adidas (quite cagefighter cliche) so thought it may be an adidas licensee like some of their boxing equipment

    Addidas sponsored the show I fought on Sweden last month, put up a lot of the money towards the event I'm told, all the equipment used were their own and the US team were kitted out in their rashguards and shorts

    Fuck, how did I not hear about this? Two of my favourite things in life, Adidas and MMA, combined in such an unholy matrimony!

    I am so sorry, Venum. It's not you, it's me. I think we just might not be right for each other anymore

    David Bielkheden mentioned something about Adidas sponsorship when I interviewed him a while back I seem to recall.

    He wore Addias gear for his Cage Warriors fight and probably will do tomorrow too

    Yes theyre the ones Jack was wearing

    They dont seem an adidas standard product though thats why i thought they may be from a licencee

    They've been in combat sports for ages and mma for a little while now, not sure why this is such a big surprise. It's a shame that their mma stuff looks fucking terrible with designs that resemble a 3rd rate regional British "fightware" brand.
