TORONTO - The UFC has joined forces with Reebok on a six-year deal billed as the biggest non-broadcast partnership in the history of the mixed martial arts organization. Jalen Richard Jersey .UFC co-owner Lorenzo Fertitta called the agreement a seminal moment for this company and for this sport, taking it to another level.The deal will change the way UFC fighters look.Instead of a mishmash of sponsors on shorts (or tops for women), they will wear gear with the Reebok logo with perhaps one title sponsor.Think more along the lines of European soccer, Fertitta said in a conference call prior to Tuesdays announcement in New York.Any title sponsor on the Reebok gear will be a major global brand, promised Fertitta.Just that alone is going to completely change the perception of the sport, the perception of the athletes, the level that where were at, he added. This is a true game-changer.The new athlete outfitting policy will start in July 2015.Fertitta declined to detail the value of the Reebok deal but said the vast majority if not all of the revenues will go to the fighters in the beginning. The UFC hopes to dip into the revenue itself down the line as it grows.For the UFC, a partnership with Reebok adds legitimacy to combat sports. Indeed, its a far cry from condom and gun shop ads that used to adorn fighter shorts.Fighters will be paid to wear the new gear on a per-fight basis. How much they get will be based on their ranking the day of the weigh-in. Champions will make the most, with subsequent tiers for fighters ranked No. 1-5, 6-10, 11-15 and those not ranked.The rankings are voted on by a media panel.Fighters will also get royalties on gear with their likeness.Previously fighters were essentially allowed to walk in wearing gear advertising their own sponsors. If their sponsor was not connected to the UFC and was of a certain size, it would have to pay the UFC an affiliation fee. Some elite fighters also shared in revenue from top UFC sponsors who elected to use them.Fighters also had their own deals.Light-heavyweight champion Jon (Bones) Jones, for example, has a deal with Nike. Former welterweight title-holder Georges St-Pierre had his own line with Affliction.Fighters can keep those sponsors although they wont be able to wear them into the Octagon.So no different than any other professional sports league, said Fertitta. Obviously if you play in the NFL, Tom Brady wears a Nike uniform, DeMarco Murray wears a Nike uniform but Tom Brady is actually sponsored by Under Armour and DeMarco Murray is sponsored by Adidas.The UFC has some 500 male and female fighters under contract.Most of the people Ive talked to, they really get it. Theyre excited about it, said UFC president Dana White.Now they will have to wear Reebok into the cage and the sponsor banners that were displayed during pre-bout introductions will disappear. But Fertitta says fighters will still have their own look under the new deal. It will allow for each of the fighters individuality but also will provide a unique iconic and consistent look for all the athletes, Fertitta said.Fighters cornermen will also wear Reebok gear.Interested to see what girls will have for @Reebok apparel. Hoping we have an option to wear more than sports bra and short shorts #modesty, tweeted Victoria bantamweight Sarah Kaufman, ranked No. 5 among 135-pound contenders. The new partnership will see UFC-Reebok gear in 1,500 Reebok stores and other retail outlets worldwide.Ita a massive, massive move for the sport of MMA and the brand of UFC and the fighters brands, said Fertitta.Reebok will also invest in research and development to create and innovate new products for training in the sports of mixed martial arts. A percentage of revenue from the deal will go to Fight for Peace, a non-profit organization.The UFC had hoped to announce the Reebok partnership at a Las Vegas news conference last month but did not get it done it in time.———Follow @NeilMDavidson on Twitter.

SAN DIEGO -- Manti Teo is back practicing with the San Diego Chargers instead of working on a side field. "Its way better than running gassers, thats for sure," the inside linebacker said Monday, when the Chargers started their third and final week of organized team activities, which are practices in shorts, jerseys and helmets. Until Monday, Teo had been working on a side field with other players recovering from injuries. He had surgery on his right foot in late January. "Im very confident coming into the off-season and today was a great day to be out with the guys," he said. His rookie season got off to a slow start after he injured his foot in the exhibition opener. At the time, the team said it was a sprain but after the season, Teo said it was a stress fracture. "Its getting there," the former Notre Dame star said. "Today was my first day out and it felt pretty good and we are going to continue to work and get better so Im not taking any steps back." Asked to what extent the injury bothered him last year, he said: "Every NFL player, you are never fully healthy. You just make sure you are able to do what you got to do on Sundays and I was able to do what I was able to do and now Im looking forward to this year with a year under my belt and it will be good." After missing the first three regular-season games, Teo started the finaal 14 games, plus the two playoff games. Brian Price Jersey. He was credited with 93 tackles in the regular season. Teo said hes about four or five pounds lighter than last season. "Im a little lighter than I was last year," he said. "A lot of people think Im heavier because Im bigger. I feel good. I feel in control and that is something as a football player that is very, very important." He said he wanted to get "more explosive and stronger. Obviously, it was a little tricky with my foot so we really focused on the muscles around it and got the work necessary and when my foot stated to progress and get better, I was able to do more things with my feet. Everything is a process and now I can start focusing on other things: my drops, getting out of breaks and closing speed and all that good stuff. It is a very exciting time." After practice, coach Mike McCoy aired out his team for several minutes. At one point, he invoked the loss at Denver in the divisional round of the playoffs. "We set a standard around here for whats acceptable and whats not," McCoy said later. "There are certain things you like and certain things you dont like." Tight end Antonio Gates hasnt been at the practices that have been open to the media. McCoy wouldnt say if the absence was medical related. "Gates is accountable for," the coach said.
