Mighty Mouse Johnson has one of the coolest sponsors in the UFC: he's sponsored by XBOX. Microsoft obviously has tons of money, and Johnson wears their logo to the octagon, and has gone to XBOX events (think game premieres as well). According to Johnson, they've treated him really well, getting him through some tough times, and he's been very loyal to them. Now, there's a big question mark about his future with the company. They may opt to continue to use him for XBOX events, but he value has been seriously deflated by the exclusive Reebok deal. Worse, he's yet to be told by the UFC how much he stands to make, according to a recent interview. Anderson Silva, the former middleweight champ and one of the greatest of all time, has made similar comments. He's a Nike guy, and he's yet to see what the Reebok deal will bring him. Jose Aldo has also been speaking out about his pay in the UFC again, although he didn't mention the Reebok deal specifically in his most recent comments.
