For more information on Silver Star, their sponsorship deals, and exclusive comments from Luke Burrett (Silver Star's Owner/Founder) check out my upcoming interview with Burrett. Pictured here is Evans' signature tee, which he wore before his fight with Forrest Griffin.
Additionally, as mentioned below, Silver Star has a deal with GSP - some of you may have noticed GSP's signature Silver Star shirt when he was wearing it during the recent "Primetime" episodes hyping this weekend's UFC 94 event.
Burrett had a lot of great things to say about his company's sponsorship deals with MMA fighters and his commitment to the fighters and the sport. The way Burrett has structured deals with the fighters is indicative of what the industry standard should be. He has a pragmatic approach to this business and says he's ready for Silver Star to be the pre-eminent MMA brand within a year. Check out my upcoming interview.
