MMA lifestyle clothing powerhouse One More Round recently released the latest Kenny “Kenflo” Florian and Heath “The Texas Crazy Horse” Herring UFC 87 walk-in tees and gave the staff at Gymtops the permission to be the first to showcase the new designs.

ENTER THE FLO

Inspired by Kenny’s Asian influences and Bruce Lee’s film Enter the Dragon, the ‘Enter the Flo’ t-shirt was designed to not only inspire Kenflo’s performance come fight night, but also to brand him as a true warrior in the octagon.

Printed with discharged ink and red foil accents on an 100% pre-washed cotton shirt, ‘Enter the Flo’ is rewashed to give it that super soft feel. The top also features a raw edge taping around the front OMR text and on the back running along the spine. It is then finished with the “Ken Flo” patch in weathered foil over red ink.

CISCO KID

Inspired by O. Henry’s ruthless, gun slinging outlaw Cisco Kid, One More Round captures the very essence of the Texas born “Crazy Horse.” It’s a known fact that, when you step into the ring with Heath Herring, you never know what will happen. It’s almost as if you’re fighting with the daring and wild Cisco himself.

Printed on a 100% pre-washed cotton tee, the Herring shirt boasts elements straight out of the Wild West. Each element is printed with soft ink and then rewashed for a soft, worn feel. Copper accents and raw edged taping around the front OMR logo complete this incredible design. The back is also garnished with OMR’s signature taping.

Both Kenny and Heath have a special entrance lined up, so be sure to catch it during UFC 87 Seek and Destroy.

You can pre-order these shirts at Solis and in the UK at One More Round - UK
