UFC 309 custom shorts revealed for Stipe Miocic, Michael Chandler and Charles Oliveira

by · MMA FIGHTING

All of the UFC 309 fighters competing in the main and co-main events are set to wear custom fight shorts from the promotion’s exclusive apparel partner at Venum.

UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones’ shorts were previously revealed with a design that included the same bible verse he has tattooed on his chest.

As for his opponent, Stipe Miocic, is wearing a relatively generic pair of shorts by comparison with a black and grey design featuring the crest from the flag of Croatia — the home country to his parents before relocating to Cleveland, Ohio. Miocic hasn’t exactly been all about flash and flare during his career so keeping things simple seem to line up with his general ethos when it comes to his fight week preparation.

Meanwhile, former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira definitely looked for an explosion of color on his fight shorts with a very loud design featuring his nickname “Do Bronx” down the side. The blue, red and yellow shorts give Oliveira a contrasting look when compared to his opponent Michael Chandler, who went for something similar to what Miocic is wearing on Saturday night.

Chandler’s shorts also feature a basic black and grey design but his are adorned with the stars and stripes signifying the United States.

The UFC has been working with Venum to create custom fight shorts for athletes involved in some of the biggest fights in the sport with UFC 309 being no exception.
