World Extreme Cagefighting general manager Reed Harris told Cagewriter that Zuffa fighters will no longer be allowed to wear Hoelzer Reich clothing in their fights. (Zuffa owns both the UFC and WEC.)
WEC 45 headliner Donald Cerrone had been sponsored by Hoelzer Reich, but withdrew from any association with the company months ago. His image remains on their Web site, but Harris said that Cerrone and his manager are taking steps to have his picture removed. Hoelzer Reich has come under fire for using Nazi-esque imagery in their clothing.
Hoelzer Reich tried to clear the air, saying they removed the clothing that had most offended people. But they still didn’t seem to see the problem behind using Nazi-associated imagery:
Hoelzer Reich has removed the names and pictures of every fighter featured on their team from their Web site.
