One of the biggest sports marketing companies in Brazil has cut ties with UFC stars due to the Reebok deal.

Owned by former soccer star Ronaldo Nazario de Lima, 9ine Sports & Entertainment announced Tuesday that they will no longer work with former UFC champions Junior dos Santos and Vitor Belfort. 9ine has also worked with Anderson Silva for three years.

In an official statement, Ronaldo’s agency called the Reebok deal "unfair" to athletes, stating that the former soccer player "does not tolerate seeing an organization change its sponsorship funding rules and fighter remuneration -- arbitrarily -- without taking a stand."
