Do you get stuff from companies for competing in their gear?

My buddy drag races and he says if you take a picture of your car crossing the finish line first with a companies logo showing and send it to that company then they'll send you money or some free parts depending on the company.

Just wondering if it was the same way with MMA since companies like sprawl have competition versions of their shorts with big old logos on it so everyone can see it.

Do you get stuff if you send a picture to these companies with your hand raised after a fight wearing their stuff or do you have to have an actual sponsership where they contact you before the event and such?

Just curious.

I've not heard of any of the bigger name companies doing it. Only Ron.

I believe Sprawl does this, but you have to be wearing their "competition logo" style, with the HUGE Sprawl logo on it.

I'm afraid of logos, so I'll never get any of this money.
