The Gun Store's Chris Irwin disappointed in FOX-driven UFC sponsorship ban

While most everyone in the mixed-martial-arts industry believes the UFC's deal with FOX is a positive for the sport as a whole, there is at least one segment of MMA sponsors unhappy with the new arrangement.

UFC officials recently made an internal announcement that "absolutely no firearms, ammo, hunting or knife companies will be permitted as sponsors in any Zuffa-promoted events."

Chris Irwin, owner of Las Vegas' "The Gun Store," has long been one of MMA's most visible firearm-related sponsors, and while he has yet to speak directly with any UFC officials, he admits he's a little frustrated at the decision.
