THE UFC haven taken legal action against the Pillow Fighting Championship over the promotion's logo.<\/p>\n
The Pillow Fight Championship was formed in 2021 but has begun to gain global traction in large part due to viral social media<\/span> clips.<\/p>\n The promotion's success has attracted the likes of former UFC feather and middleweights Marcus Brimage and Markus Perez.<\/p>\n But it's also caught the eye of MMA's top promotion, who have taken umbrage with their 'PFC' logo – which is written above the organisation's full name.<\/p>\n The UFC have cited similarities between their iconic and world-recognised red three-lettered logo and the PFC's.<\/p>\n They argue the fonts of the logos bear a striking resemblance and could cause the unknowing public to conflate the two organisations.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n As a result, the PFC have been forced into a rebrand of their logo so as to avoid a long and potentially costly dispute.<\/p>\n That has enraged the PFC's CEO Steve Williams, who told The New York Post: "It\u2019s ridiculous.<\/p>\n "Out of the 100<\/span> million comments nobody ever said anything."<\/p>\n Williams then jokingly revealed he'd like to take his frustrations out on UFC president Dana White in the PFC.<\/p>\n <\/picture>DONE DEAL <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>GARR BLIMEY <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>ANTONY ACCUSED <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>YACHT A LAUGH <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS<\/strong><\/p>\n When asked about a potential pillow fight with his fellow promoter, he said: "Yes I\u2019d definitely like to get Dana in the ring.<\/p>\n "He\u2019s a decade younger and spent his entire life around MMA fighters.<\/p>\n "But I\u2019m 100 per cent sure that I\u2019d stomp his skinny a** in the first round."<\/p>\n The UFC resumes pay-per-view action early on Sunday morning in Sydney, Australia<\/span>.<\/p>\n UFC 293 will be headlined by a middleweight title fight between two-time champion Israel Adesanya and the controversial Sean Strickland.<\/p>\n
