The future of sponsorships in mixed martial arts dramatically shifted on Tuesday, as the UFC and Reebok announced a landmark six-year deal which will effectively replace in-cage fighter sponsors with a uniform provided by Reebok. Whether this shift will ultimately be a positive or negative net gain on fighters' wallets remains to be seen -- specifics of the new tiered payout system are, at this point, foggy -- but there's no underselling the significance UFC's decision here.

Check out reactions to the announcement from pro fighters both in and out of the UFC below, which we'll be updating periodically throughout the day.

I'd say I'm one of the biggest draws outside the UFC if any of the companies that just got shafted want to stay in the MMA market #ImHere — Nick Newell (@NotoriousNewell) December 2, 2014

"Management" is so much more than just sponsorships. I’m so thankful to have @SuckerPunchEnt on my side. *wouldn’t be here without them @ufc — Felice Herrig (@feliceherrig) December 2, 2014

UFC knows most fighters live off of sponsors and they will find a way to compensate or come close to that I'm sure. — Cody Bollinger (@CodyBollinger) December 2, 2014
