Kanye West's newest fashion trend is raising eyebrows amongst MMA fighters and fans.
The world is all too aware of who Kanye West is. The multi-time Grammy winner has become more than just a producer and a rapper, amassing a massive wealth thanks to his fashion line, his entrepreneurship ventures, and his celebrity persona.
West has been marred by controversy for the last few years due to his explosive takes and the latest outfit to hit social media has done little to remove heat from his back.
Spotted with his wife Bianca Censori, West is dressed in his usual all-black outfit. Nothing controversial about that.
Except that he looks like he is cutting weight for his next title fight.

MMA fighters were quick to roast the world renowned artist for his outfit choice, especially considering that this is the man behind the famous Yeezy clothing and shoes collection.

It was no surprise to see some of the UFC's biggest stars comment on the new look fielded by West. Belal Muhammad posted one of his infamous memes.

Billy Quarantillo hit West with what many might consider a low blow given West's romantic affairs in the past couple of years. It'll be hard for anyone to forget the messy, and very public, divorce between him and Kim Kardashian, and Quarantillo believes there might still be beef that needs to be resolved.

Of course, other fighters have the misfortune to realise that when you have the type of financial security that West has, any tool or equipment is there at the snap of fingers. Poor Lerone Murphy has long been looking for exactly what West decided to stroll around Los Angeles in:

Whether this was just an outfit choice or a lifestyle change that means we see West in the Octagon is yet to be seen. The only thing we do know is that in the LA heat with that type of outfit, it's feasible to believe that West can make 155 pounds easily.
