What's the deal with these guys? What's general consensus on them? Do people in the industry (fighters, coaches, promoters) like them? I understand and appreciate what they're doing for the fight game but come on....they look like a bunch of clowns.

If you mean the clothing line then I use it as a marker for the wannabe nontraining TUF couch potatos. I see the gear every where. We have two or three guys a week decked out in tapout gear come and watch classes, they never get on the mat and never come back.

It is the clothing line. But I'm talking more about the owners of the company. They're a bunch of clowns. If you get the Versus channel, they have a show on it every week. They "sponsor" and up-and-coming fighter and follow their training. Like I said, they have good intentions but it's just tough to take them serious because they're tools.

I think the Tapout guys are funny.

HOWEVER, I am very annoyed by their logo (which is a ripoff of Everlast). Basically, that's how they made their money and they ripped it off, it's like they are the Bill Gates of MMA or something.

Also, I always laugh when Mask acts like he is super creative or something, LOL.

Bottom-Line: I watch the show for the fights and for the laughs. It's still good entertainment.
