Condom Depot to Sponsor Gabriel Gonzaga

I don't know much about the deals between sponsors and fighters but we can all admit that the fighters of late have been looking more and more like billboards. We see Tapout, American Fighter, Xyience, things related to fighting.

Gabriel Gonzaga has sponsors just like all other fighters. Instead of the basic fighting theme that most other fighters use, he has gone to a loving theme and will be sponsored by condoms. CondomDepot.com will be printed across Gonzaga's fighting shorts. The Tampa based company is the leading distributor of condoms and safe sex education.

Gonzaga's decision to sign with the prophylactic company couldn't have come (no pun intended) at a better time with UFC 80 being officially named 'Rapid Fire'.

This, of course, is purely coincidental. However if the fight venue was named 'Battle of the Boner' one would think Dana White had a few bucks involved. Hopefully good taste will prevail and we'll never see a fight event by that name.

Now Gonzaga can see things in a different light when the referee explains, "Protect yourself at all times!"

I can see the commercial now when the ref tells Gonzaga to protect himself, he stares at the camera and gives a little wink.

I'm a marketing genius. No I'm not.
