TapouT and UFC welterweight Brock Larson have teamed up for a new signature t-shirt. The tee features “Raging Bull” across the chest in silver foil, a green TapouT logo with silver foil outlining and Larson underneath also outlined in silver foil. On the back of the tee is a green TapouT logo below the neckline with silver foil. Prior to his recent loss at UFC Fight Night 19, Larson had enjoyed a 5 fight win streak that included wins both in and out of the octagon.

For the second season of MTV’s Bully Beatdown, Jason “Mayhem” Miller has traded his Triumph*United t-shirts in for a chance to represent the TapouT brand. With a new cross promotion announced recently between Strikeforce and DREAM, Miller is set to take on former EliteXC Welterweight Champion Jake Shields sometime in October. Miller is known for his flamboyant image and personality – his signature tee is no different. Featuring his nickname emblazoned on the front in a funky robot text over top of the TapouT logo, the back of the shirt is a bit more subtle with just the TapouT logo represented on the right shoulder blade.

Having just recently released a signature tee for cutman Jacob “Stitch” Duran, TapouT is back with a limited edition cutman vest. The back of each vest is signed byDuran and features a large white TapouT logo and “Stitch” above it, while TapouT.com is embroidered on the hideaway hood panel. The front has multiple TapouT logos, an eagle icon, as well as a Mask tribute patch on the right chest pocket and Stitch Duran logo on the left chest pocket with the “STITCH” name badge above. A personalized name badge on the upper chest pocket is optional.

TapouT has teamed up with former EliteXC Welterweight Champion Jake Shields to release a signature series t-shirt. In his last bout, and his first within the Strikeforce promotion, Shields defeated former EliteXC Middleweight champion “Ruthless” Robbie Lawler. With current Strikeforce Middleweight Champion Cung Le on extended hiatus shooting a movie, all signs are pointing towards a possible interim title match between Shields and Jason “Mayhem” Miller. The new shirt features the TapouT logo accented with silver foil on both the front and the back, while the front of the shirt also displays an eagle with a banner running under it with the following text, “An Expression of Combat Known Worldwide”. Shields name is hand written on the left side of the tee.

A fixture at UFC events since 2001, Jacob Duran has been a full-time cutman for nearly 15 years, in both boxing and mma. With his presence at countless boxing and mma events, appearances in video games, his own radio show and action figure, it only makes sense that the man known to most as “Stitch” would have his own signature t-shirt. Released as part of TapouT’s Black Label series, the Jacob “Stitch” Duran Signature Tee features a distressed red TapouT logo and stitched up face with the word “STITCH” underneath it on the front, and a large distressed Tapout logo behind an actual picture of Stitch on the back of the shirt.

This Saturday, as part of UFC 102 in Portland, Nate Marquardt takes on undefeated middleweight Demian Maia in a match that will certainly move the winner one step closer towards a shot at Anderson Silva’s middleweight title. With the bout only a few days away, TapouT has released this Nate “The Great” Marquardt signature tee. The front of the shirt features skulls, swords, and Greco-Roman accents surrounding the Tapout logo, while the back features Marquardt’s name in gold foil with the TapouT logo beneath it.

Originally set to square off at Affliction Trilogy, Gegard Mousasi and Renato “Babalu” Sobral were fortunate to not only have their match rescheduled on Strikeforce’s August 15th event, but it has also now become a title fight with Sobral putting his Strikeforce Light Heavyweight belt on the line. Recently released as part of TapouTs Black Label line, the Faded Skull Signature Tee will be worn by Mousasi as he makes his way to the cage. The gray shirt features a faded TapouT logo and skull on the front, with a faded TapouT logo on the back across the shoulders. This shirt is available immediately online.

On August, 8th, 2009, Kenny Florian battles for the UFC Lightweight title for the second time, only this time it will be against reigning champion BJ Penn. Florian has depicted Penn as the master, and that now is the time for him as the student to kill the master. Following that theme, Tapout has released Florian’s official walkout shirt, featuring Japanese Samurai armor and Kabuki mask in silver foil. The front of the shirt also features the traditional Tapout logo, while the back of the shirt features Florian’s nickname, KEN FLO. Both of these logos are also in silver foil.

TapouT has joined forces with one of the largest fight video game franchises, TEKKEN/Namco.
