Alright, let’s talk about this UFC towel thing, you know, the one them fighters always carry around. I see it on TV all the time, them fellas wiping their sweat and stuff.
Now, I ain’t no expert, but from what I gather, this ain’t just any old towel. It’s a special kinda towel, see? They call it the UFC Venum Authentic Fight Week Towel. Sounds fancy, don’t it? They say it’s made of soft and absorbent cotton. Well, I reckon that’s important, what with all that sweatin’ and grunting they do.
I heard tell this towel is made in cahoots with the UFC. That means they teamed up with some company, Venum I think they called it. These folks, they make all sorts of UFC stuff, like shirts and shorts, and this here towel. You can even buy it at the Official UFC Store, along with other stuff from other partners like Dyaco. So, it’s the real deal, not some cheap knockoff from the market.
- It’s soft
- It soaks up sweat real good
- It’s got that UFC name on it, makes it official-like
Now, why do they need these towels so bad? Well, it’s like this. Them fighters, they gotta weigh in before a fight. They gotta make sure they ain’t too heavy or too light. And this towel, it helps them do that. I heard a story ’bout some fella, Cormier I think his name was, tryin’ to use the towel to cheat a little on the weight. Somethin’ about puttin’ his hands on it while standin’ on the scale, makin’ himself seem lighter. Sounds like a sneaky trick to me, but I guess that’s how it goes in that fightin’ world.
But it ain’t just for cheatin’, no sir. It’s mostly for, well, for bein’ decent, you know? Them fighters, they gotta strip down to their skivvies to weigh in, and the towel gives ’em a bit of cover. Nobody wants to be standin’ there buck naked in front of a bunch of people, right? It’s just plain manners, like holdin’ the door for a lady. Though I reckon these fellas ain’t thinkin’ too much ’bout manners when they’re beatin’ each other up.
And it’s also part of the whole show, you see. It makes it more dramatic-like. The fighter steps on the scale, towel draped over their shoulders, lookin’ all serious. It’s like a ritual, a part of the whole fightin’ tradition. It’s like puttin’ on your best Sunday clothes for church, only instead of church, it’s a cage, and instead of singin’ hymns, they’re punchin’ each other. Makes for good TV, I guess.
So, this UFC towel, it’s more than just a towel. It’s for keepin’ clean, for weighin’ in proper, for bein’ decent, and for makin’ the whole fight thing look more official. It’s a little piece of cloth that plays a big part in that whole fightin’ circus. And I reckon, if you’re a fighter, you best have one of these towels. It’s a must-have, just like good shoes for workin’ the farm or a strong cup of tea on a cold mornin’.
Oh, and one more thing, I almost forgot. They also use towels in the corner between rounds, the fellas wipe the fighter’s faces with it, give them water and whatever magic potion they give them. It helps clean the sweat and blood, and maybe even give them a little pep talk. The referees even step in to stop fights with a towel, like waving a white flag, I guess. It’s all part of the fight game, this towel thing.
So that’s the long and short of it, as far as I can tell. This towel ain’t just somethin’ to wipe your face on; it’s a tool, a tradition, and a part of the show. And that, my friends, is what I know ‘bout them UFC towels.
