I was rewatching Jones vs Rampage and I noticed that in addition to the insane amount of eyepokes, they were wearing sponsors on their gear. I know that the Rebook deal and subsequent Venum deal has stopped this but why is that? Allowing the fighters to get their own sponsors helped them make bank and it didn't hurt the UFC's payout as they weren't paying them, the sponsors did. With all the stuff about underpaid fighters, it would benefit the UFC if they went back to allowing fighters to wear their own sponsors.
