Bellator’s Tywan Claxton Working on Rebrand, Wants to Be ‘One of the Highest-Paid Athletes Ever’

While much of society has been limited during the coronavirus pandemic, Tywan Claxton has been productive during the downtime.

Self-taught in the art of writing computer code, the Bellator MMA featherweight prospect has been working diligently on the relaunch of his “Air” Claxton brand, which he hopes to unveil by year’s end. The former Division II All-American wrestler initially changed his moniker from “Speedy” Claxton to “Air” Claxton after scoring a highlight-reel flying knee KO in his Bellator debut. With it came a slick flying knee logo, something akin to the Jumpman logo spawned by legendary NBA superstar Michael Jordan.
