AVG. Day Stuff - Bryce Harper Given UFC Title Belt Because He's Bryce Harper

Such training. Much muscle. Do workout. Wow belt. 
(Yahoo!) - MLB outfielder Bryce Harper recently tweeted his desire to own a UFC championship title belt of his own. Cy Young Award winners Max Scherzer and Clayton Kershaw each received pro wrestling title belts from the WWE recently, and Harper wanted something a bit more real.
So, the Washington Nationals star asked the UFC for one, via twitter, of course.
"I need to get a belt, everybody has WWE ones, I want a @UFC one! Anyway we can make that happen?@danawhite @joerogan @lorenzofertitta ," Harper tweeted to the UFC, its president, television analyst and co-owner.
The UFC's twitter account replied, "@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!"
Is this how easy it is to get things when you're one of the next big stars in sports, ask for it on Twitter? Seriously though, wonder how much shit Bryce could actually just get from different organizations and companies by just tweeting, "Jeez, i'm Bryce Harper, I could really use a _________, can anyone help me out?!?!" Life's hard when you're the #2 ranked corner outfielder in the MLB. Also have to love the fact that UFC says, "We'll only send it if you take a picture with it!" You know Bryce is going to be taking Instagrams of his workout in the offseason, why not throw the belt on for kicks? Hell, if I was him i'd wear that shit everywhere. He's also killing two birds with one stone: "Hey Bryce, what are you doing with your new UFC title belt?" and "Hey Bryce, do you even lift bro?" Both are clown questions. 
And how about Harper knowing his competition? Knowing that Kershaw and Scherzer, both who won this year's Cy Young award respectively got WWE belts, goes and asks for a UFC one when all he did last year was show up at the 2013 Home Run Derby and got womped on by Yoenis Cespedes. No one really watches the WWE bro, its 2014, everyone is about the UFC these days. Props to Harper for staying hip with the times.
