The new UFC Reebok sponsorship requires that fighters appear exclusively in Reebok apparel in the Octagon and during fight week. Of particular concern is displaying another brand at weigh-ins, press conferences, open workouts, or in the fight. The UFC revealed recently that three fighters at UFC on FOX 17 on December 19, 2015, received reductions on their Reebok payments for knowingly and seriously violating the policy.

This was the first time the step had been taken.

Now Nate Diaz has volunteered that he was one of the fighters in question.

The amount of the reduction was not announced, but another fighter who volunteered that he was one of the policy violators, Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone, said it was not trivial.

Let’s just say a LOT. Think of a number then double it 

Cerrone’s violation was reportedly for a Budweiser patch. Diaz’s was for wearing his Represent line at various points during fight week, and drinking from a Represent bottle during the post fight press conference.
