From what I gathered from the article the UFC has banned all of it from the weigh-ins through the fight.

Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
What I was referring to was:
Fighters no longer will be permitted to wear independent sponsorships during a fight or the promotion leading up to it, but can maintain sponsorships outside of events.

It's all banned fight week.
Most fighters seem to be all for this. Theyhatechasing down sponsors and seem to believe they won't be losing any money on this.
edit: They also announced they're opening a rehab center for injured fighters at Zuffa HQ. I'm guessing so they can oversee the treatment they're paying for since they started covering all training injuries.

Oh it sucks for Dynamic Fastener and Condom Depot and Dude Wipes for sure. But for fighters itcouldbe a huge boon. After years of fans complaining about how the fighters get shafted here's something that could work out big in their favor and fans just pre-shit all over it without any facts.

Don't get me wrong, I do believe it is a huge boon for the fighters that are in the UFC. However, you are missing the point.

Your point seems to be that companies won't invest in regional fighters anymore because some day they might get to the UFC. Correct? There's some merit there, but not much. Hell, if anything this might get those guys to pay more to get on the 2nd and 3rd tier promotions like Bellator and MFC etc, since they don't have the option of UFC guys. And regional sponsors like Bubba's Crawdad Shack weren't gonna be with fighters making it to the UFC anyways.
I get the concern, these lower tier fighters need the money and if sponsors are scared off it hurts them, but I don'tthinkit should have much impact. Could be wrong.

Invicta gfys. No idea who most of these women are.
Very cool takedown(watch the slow mo part) by Rachael Ostovich, while wearing the best singlet in MMA.
Alexa Grasso vs. Alida Gray, no idea which is which but that's a genuinely nice punch combo that rocked her. Uppercut to lead hand hook is nasty.
Main event, Waterson vs. Tiburcio. I at least know who Waterson is, but I guess being hot and a huge favorite doesn't make you unbeatable.
Anderson Silva Budweiser commercial is pretty great.
