Makwan Amirkhani has left Allstars Sweden and apparently wants to train at SBG now. That'd be good news, cool fella and a big talent.

He seems like a great personality and seriously talented! Has he fought in ages? I've liked him a lot since his debut

Unreal news, Mr. Finland will be a future title contender with SBG I reckon, and his press conference skills are up there with the best of them!

He seems like a great prospect. Lot of promise.

Has mentioned in his press conferences with MMARoasted that he would smash McGregor. A match up I would like to see sometime down the line all things going well for Makwan.
John Kavanah initially seems to be open to it.

A sound bunch of lads.

Absolutely delighted, Amirkahni is a beast and a gent. Bought his mam a bed after he won his first fight :pac: now all SBG need is Yair Rodriguez and it'll gave three of the most exciting fighters in the UFC.

Zero-Cool

Here we go!! Your first three fights for UFC Fight Night London!! Bisping vs. Mousasi, Wilkinson vs. Amirkhani and Parke vs. Khabilov!

Well, Bisping wants a challenge, he got it. Poor ol Mike. Will still be rooting for him though. Khabilov is gonna maul Parke and Mr. Finland Ireland is gonna wreck Wilkinson.

MagicIRL

Hahah this is savage news! Can't wait to see him floating around Dublin and the gym. What a legend!

Couldn't believe it till I read it. That's so many mistakes they've made already. First Giblert, Marcio Machida, Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza (mixed up the first name with the nickname), the Koscheck kit right as he signs for Bellator, that ridiculous divided Ireland t-shirt, the USA McGregor hoodie, and now this.

That is a serious list of mistakes.

They have to be doing this on purpose.

T-shirts pass from design stage to printing stage then they get models to wear then bring in photographer after that it's sent to someone to edit and upload to their website. I assume UFC get to see them before they go on sale ?

Surely someone says along the way, "here lads ****ing wrong name on these"

I was thinking that, like the way Starbucks purposely misspell names for free advertising, but that just wouldn't cut it for Reebok, because it's having such a negative effect.

Must all be an elaborate prank from Scott Coker. :pac:

Well everybody is talking about reebok and the UFC. It's obviously a marketing gimmick

I really doubt they do tbh. Reebok are probably just pumping these out from a factory in China. Even if the UFC hired a person to liase with Reebok, it's probably a procurement officer with no actually MMA knowledge.

Our company hired Reebok to make our uniforms and they've been awful to deal with. Just terrible quality, and extremely slow. It's been 12 months and still don't have them, we had to reject the first batch that came in months late). I'm not surprised that the stuff they are rushing through for the UFC contract is full of mistakes.

Sage Northcutt has left Tristar, 8 days out from his fight against Cody Pfister:

http://www.mmamania.com/2015/12/2/9836576/ufc-fight-night-80-sage-northcutt-pulled-from-tristar-ahead-cody-pfister-fight-dec-10-mma

During a recent trip to the famed Tristar Gym in Montreal, Northcutt began tiring after a few days. He has cardio for days—he can run a sub-five-minute mile, and his father says he can fight five five-minute rounds without breaking a sweat—but the pace of Tristar’s training was more than he was used to handling.

That difference in training style is why Northcutt won’t be utilizing Tristar to prepare for his December 10 fight against Cody Pfister. His father is worried about allowing Sage to go to Canada without being there to monitor him. He’s afraid Sage would return from training without his usual levels of energy, and that could affect him greatly in the fight.

More on the Reebok gear

In the latest of wardrobe gaffes involving official UFC apparel, the UFC’s online store offers a t-shirt that advertises Conor McGregor as the man who “has defeated Chad Mendes for the Featherweight Title Champion!”

“As Heavyweight champ Ryan ‘Darth’ Bader’s #1 fan, it’s only right for you to give him a shout-out as UFC’s newest champ,” the attached copy reads. “At UFC 192, Heavyweight champ ‘Darth’ Bader boldly defended his title against contender Rashad Evans in a brutal battle nobody will forget! Celebrate his huge victory with this Champion tee. Remind everyone around who’s #1!”

Sounds like the kids in the third world who are making these jerseys are also designing them!
