    I was watching last night and my two loves came together! But I do think it was marketing. Dana gets paid for the shirts he wears

    Are you suggesting PJ paid Dana White to wear one of their shirts? I guess anything is possible nowadays, but I'd still be surprised...

    Oh yea.. The age bracket for ufc is like 18 to 45 males, same age bracket for pj. If you ask me its smart, I don't blame them one bit.

    They didn't pay Dana White to wear a t-shirt. :roll:
    You actually said the reason why he was wearing the shirt yourself in your post. The demographic of Pearl Jam is males 18 to 45. Dana White is a 42 year old white male.

    I remember an interview with Dana White from around 2006 and the subject of music taste and movies came up. He mentioned Pearl Jam, thats why I rolled my eyes because I heard it out of his mouth around 2006 or so. But go with your theory if you like I don't care, I know what he said. Didn't mean anything by the eye roll, it was instinct. The UFC is kinda weak anyway so it's hardly a big deal to me that he wore a PJ shirt.

    So if he likes a band, he cannot get paid by them to wear their shirt? He did say he likes Pearl Jam, and it has been reported that he gets paid to wear t-shirts. Whether PJ actually paid him is up in the air, but it is a possibility. The mere fact that he is a fan of the band does not mean he did not get paid.

    Also, how is the UFC "weak"? It is the biggest MMA franchise in the world as millions watch it and they are making tons of money.
