Kimbo Slice is finally getting his bread. He recently moved from Triumph United to a major sponsorship from TapouT, a mixed martial arts lifestyle company with their own reality show on Versus. Speaking of reality shows, TapouT is finally going forward with season 2 of their original series.
TapouT, the premier mixed martial arts apparel, gear and lifestyle brand, announced today that the company will sponsor MMA superstar Kimbo Slice and create a joint apparel line under the TapouT brand. TapouT will be Kimbo’s exclusive apparel sponsor.
“Kimbo is the real deal,” said Mask, TapouT Founder. “He is the ultimate underdog who kept his nose to the grindstone and rose up to become one of the most well-known MMA fighters out there. Kimbo is tough, but full of heart, and we’re excited to take him from the cage to the clothing.”
“I want to thank the whole TapouT FAM for taking an interest in me and team Kimbo,” said Kimbo Slice. Also thank you guys for allowing us to be a part of your FAM…and the tightest gear out there. Hey man, my team is psyched, team Kimbo is psyched.”
Further details on the Kimbo/TapouT apparel line will be announced in the coming months.
Besides the announcement of Kimbo, Tapout also announced the debut date of their second season of "TapouT", which kicks off on July 30 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on VERSUS (and launched July 24 on VERSUS ON DEMAND).
