Bryce Harper trains while wearing a UFC belt
Clayton Kershaw, Max Scherzer and LeBron James all got WWE title belts recently.
Bryce Harper? He isn’t interested.
The Washington Nationals baseball stud – one of the best young players in MLB – wanted a title belt, alright.
But he wanted one from the UFC and he said so on Twitter last week, tweeting at Dana White, Lorenzo Fertitta and Joe Rogan with his request.
I need to get a belt, everybody has WWE ones, I want a @UFC one! Anyway we can make that happen? @danawhite @joerogan @lorenzofertitta

None of them responded to the 21-year-old from Las Vegas. But that’s OK, because the UFC’s official account did, asking Harper that he can get one if he hits a home run while wearing it.
@Bharper3407 Only if you promise to hit a home run while wearing the UFC belt ;). Seriously we'll send you one if you send us a pic with it!

Actually, all the UFC wanted was for him to take a picture with it. And Harper wrote back that he would hit a home run in batting practice with it on. Awesome.
@ufc that's a no brainier! I'll hit a homerun in BP with it on!

And now that he's got it, he's already giving it quite the workout ... by working out with it. Who knows, this might kick off a whole new title belt trend.
.@Bharper3407 trains like a champ in the offseason. Look forward to seeing you hit a HR w/ the belt on, Bryce! @MLB pic.twitter.com/JL8gMVe0px
