Sara McMann: UFC-Reebok deal looks discriminatory against an entire gender

Which is why the Olympian is ready to seek the help of an attorney before stepping to ZUFFA.

Miesha Tate recently came out and declared that the heavily-criticized deal Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) made with Reebok, which will see the apparel company be the sole sponsor for all fighters come July, is unfair to women in mixed martial arts (MMA).

That's because due to the pay scale (see it), most women will be at the very bottom of the tier, and will only receive a sponsorship check of $2,500 per fight from Reebok, far less than what most make now thanks to their numerous deals with other companies.
