Let UFC fighters have banner sponsors again

Professional MMA fighters have one of the toughest jobs in professional sporting. They go into a locked cage with another trained killer and receive severe head trauma along with other injuries. Recently the UFC has signed an exclusive deal with Reebok which no longer allows the fighters to have sponsors displayed prior to their fights. This has resulted in a drastic drop in income to athletes who are among the lowest paid in professional sports.
These men and women frequently receive very little compensation and still have families to support. We are not petitioning to do away with the Reebok deal or to let the fighters wear whatever they want again, only to let them hang a banner as they used to before the fight. Surely this is not too much to ask and will not negatively affect Reebok or the UFC. These men and women who shed their blood, swear and tears for their glory and our entertainment deserve that, at least.
