Dana on ‘Cage Fighter’ ban
By Jim Murphy October 28th, 2008Dana White finally addressed the ban of “Cage Fighter” branded apparel. Contrary to previous reports, he suggests that it had nothing to do with a battle for shelf space at Wal-Mart. According to Dana, they just “crossed him”…
UFC president Dana White wouldn’t divulge exactly why the Cage Fighter clothing line has been banned from UFC events but claims it’s not related to shelf space.
“It has nothing to do with the Wal-Mart deal,” White recently said on TapouT Radio. “These guys made some moves I didn’t like, and we’re going to figure it out… or not.”
In a story first reported by MMAPayout.com, sources told the website focusing on the business of MMA that the UFC instituted the ban after losing shelf space to MMA Authentics at Wal-Mart stores.
