UFC HEAVYWEIGHT BRENDAN SCHAUB SIGNS FOUR MAJOR SPONSORSHIP AGREEMENTS
Aug 25, 2011 Comments
(PRESS RELEASE) -- Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight
contender Brendan Schaub is breaking barriers and may have the most
diverse group of sponsors in MMA. The charismatic runner up from
season ten of The Ultimate Fighter is now the face of Six Star Pro
Nutritionâ„¢, the first American to be sponsored by Brazilian fruit
juice Bony Acai, the first athlete sponsored by Bullets4Peace, and
the spokesperson for Ecko Unlimited MMA apparel.
“I’m blessed,” Schaub says. “Not only do I have these great sponsors in my corner, but I really like their brands and get along with all of them. I’ve been sponsored by a lot of people over the last few years, but these guys are all good people who I like to be around. I’m very fortunate that so many people believe in me.”
“Brendan embodies everything Six Star Pro Nutritionâ„¢ is,” says
Vito Sanzone, Vice President of Marketing of Six Star Pro
Nutritionâ„¢. “Brendan is an up-and-coming force in the UFC
heavyweight division and has a legendary work ethic in the gym that
is in line with the Six Star® brand’s commitment to developing
premium-grade, high-quality supplements.”
Six Star Pro Nutritionâ„¢ is a complete line of premium-grade, high-quality supplements engineered by the same team of researchers that formulate MuscleTech®. With an emphasis on quality and science, Six Star Pro Nutritionâ„¢ supplements are formulated to help you build muscle, boost strength and increase athletic performance.
"We are excited about our future with Brendan Schaub,” says Fred Siaosi, President of Bony Acai. “Brendan will be the first American to officially join our Bony Acai fight team. We feel Brendan will be a tremendous partner for us here in the United States as we increase our brand exposure. We have 5 UFC Champions past and present, representing the Bony Acai brand. We feel that Brendan has the potential to be another champion in the UFC."
Schaub’s third big sponsor is Ecko Unlimited, a lifestyle brand that consists of several properties including Zoo York. Schaub will be the spokesperson for Ecko’s MMA apparel line and will wear it when he fights Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at UFC 124 in Rio de Janeiro on August 26th. Ecko Unlimited was founded by Marc Ecko and has been a supporter of Mixed Martial Arts for several years.
“Brendan is a great addition to the Ecko family,” says Eric Samson Sports Marketing Manager for Ecko. “Brendan embodies the Ecko DNA both in competition and outside. We’re happy to welcome such a great new partner as well as his whole team into Marc Ecko Enterprises.”
Finally, Brendan will be the first athlete to be officially sponsored by Bullets4Peace, a line of jewelry designed from spent bullet casings that promotes non-violence. Bullets4Peace is a Hollywood charity who is supported exclusively by A-list celebrities in the entertainment community, including Matt Damon, Snoop Dogg, Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, and Donald Trump. This is a huge step forward for Bullets4Peace because it represents their first foray into professional sports.
“I am really excited to work with a fighter such as Brendan who promotes peace and the removing of violence from the streets,” says Bullets4Peace founder Raffi Anteby. “There is no better person to promote the removal of violence from the streets than a martial artist that kids and fans idolize. We want to put our jewelry on more athletes in the future and Brendan will be paving the way for that. Brendan has the look and cross over appeal to be a star inside and outside the octagon and because of that we will make him a signature bullet of peace.”
“These four great sponsors getting behind Brendan shows how recognizable and marketable he is,” says Alchemist President Lex McMahon. “Six Star® and Bony Acai have been steadfast supporters of the best fighters in MMA and Ecko is a worldwide brand that only puts their mark on the best athletes. Bullets4Peace is a respected and great cause that only works with the best.”
