"We are delighted to have begun this relationship with Jason. His dedication as a professional athlete and to his family is consistent with corporate and personal values we represent as a customer-centric organization, said George Burrows, Principal and founder of Blackeye Fightwear.

Lee is a well-regarded striker, is also known for his commitment to the community.

A personal trainer and business owner outside of the octagon, Lee is a dedicated father and family man, and is proud to be affiliated with a brand like Blackeye Fightwear.

"A goal of Blackeye Fightwear is to support athletes in the sport of MMA as they develop. Many of these men are not household names yet, however, each of them is pursuing their goal in a way that will ensure their future success in the cage and as positive role-models for the next generation of fighters", said George Burrows.
