Black Rifle Coffee Company Named “Official
Coffee of UFC”
UFC®, the world’s premier mixed martial arts organization
and Black Rifle Coffee Company (NYSE: BRCC) (“BRCC”), a
rapidly-growing, mission-driven premium coffee company founded to
support veterans, active-duty military, and first responders, today
announced a new multi-year marketing partnership.
BRCC will become the exclusive “Official Coffee of UFC”
in the U.S. With the sponsorship, BRCC will bring its distinct
brand of caffeine-fueled energy to fans at UFC’s biggest U.S.
events, featuring on-site presence, broadcast integration, custom
digital and social content, and more.
“As I’ve gotten to know the team at Black Rifle Coffee Company,
I’ve come to respect how they’ve built their business and the
values they stand for,” said UFC CEO Dana White. “Taking
care of the men and women who serve this country is something that
has always been important to me and an issue I care deeply about.
I’m proud to partner with a company like BRCC that is committed to
helping veterans and others who have put their lives on the line
and sacrificed so much to protect our way of life.”
"Embracing a shared commitment to excellence and service, Black
Rifle Coffee Company stands as a trailblazer in crafting the
standard of what it is to be a benefit corporation,” said Mat
Best, Co-Founder of BRCC. “We are immensely proud and excited
to announce our partnership with UFC. UFC has revolutionized the
landscape of competitive sports, and our collaboration aims to
invigorate fans, fostering the creation of unforgettable
experiences and lasting memories. Together, we fight forward with a
shared vision of greatness for making a difference in the lives of
those who served.”
BRCC, America’s fastest-growing coffee company, will once again
activate its partnership with UFC during the highly anticipated
UFC® 298: VOLKANOVSKI vs. TOPURIA, which takes place this
Saturday, Feb. 17 in Anaheim, Calif. at Honda Center. The
event will feature a blockbuster featherweight championship bout
that will see Alexander Volkanovski defend against
undefeated No. 5 ranked-contender Ilia
Topuria, as well as a
pivotal bantamweight clash featuring No. 2 ranked-contender
Merab Dvalishvili taking on former UFC flyweight and
bantamweight champion and No. 3-ranked Henry Cejudo.
This new agreement will entitle BRCC to be featured in every UFC
event in the United States, receiving high-visibility placement
inside the world-famous Octagon at every UFC Pay-Per-View, as well
as integrations in broadcast features throughout the Main Card of
other select Pay-Per-Views.
In addition, for the first time in UFC history, UFC and BRCC
will co-produce a Live Crowd Volume Meter to elevate the fan
experience. The Black Rifle Coffee Crowd Meter will be
implemented at every UFC arena show in the U.S. and will measure,
in decibels, the volume of the crowd. The highest volume at each
event will be recorded and posted on UFC social media
platforms.
UFC and BRCC will also collaborate on original content that will
be distributed through UFC’s popular digital and social channels,
which reach more than 259 million users worldwide. The new
partnership also provides for an annual Brand Ambassador fund that
will bring the partnership to life through appearances, content,
and creative campaigns with UFC athletes.
This partnership builds on the relationship UFC and BRCC have
forged over the years that has included, among other endeavors,
support for military veterans. To commemorate Veterans Day last
year, BRCC and UFC teamed up to raise awareness for HunterSeven
Foundation, a nonprofit that leads research efforts in military
exposures and their long- and short-term impacts on the health of
the post-9/11 veteran population. As part of the activation, BRCC
and UFC partnered to match $150,000 in public donations to
HunterSeven Foundation to support services for veterans that
prevent and detect cancer at its earliest stages through research,
education, and accessible medical screenings.
