How can a combat sports athlete build a brand? Millions.co founder Matt Whitteker believes he can help

BAD MMA News — Wed, 14 Jul 2021 13:03:34 +0000

While success in combat sports relies heavily on earning victories, building a brand is becoming an increasingly important aspect of the job. Former UFC two-division champion Conor McGregor has become a global icon during his eight-year run in the UFC, and while his fighting skills earned him those two belts, it was provocative use of social media that helped secure the biggest paycheck of his career with his 2017 foray into boxing against all-time great Floyd Mayweather. Currently, some of the most in-demand athletes in combat sports are brothers Logan Paul and Jake Paul, who built a following on YouTube that has fueled unbelievable demand for their entry into high-profile boxing matchups, as well.

BAD MMA News — Mon, 24 May 2021 17:05:08 +0000

UNCASVILLE, Conn. – Hannah Guy had no doubt she’d beat Valerie Loureda despite being a big underdog.

Bellator 259 results: Hannah Guy hands Valerie Loureda first loss in scrappy fight

BAD MMA News — Sat, 22 May 2021 02:33:29 +0000

Hannah Guy threw caution to the wind against Valerie Loureda , and it paid off Friday night at Bellator 259. Guy withstood some initial adversity but rebounded in a big way to hand Loureda her first defeat in a scrappy fight, as Guy earned unanimous decision with scores of 30-27, 29-28, 29-28 from the judges at Mohegan Sun Arena. Given how the fight unfolded, it’s hard to believe Guy didn’t come away with a submission as she had Loureda in trouble on two occasions. Guy (3-1 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) came out as the aggressor in Round 1, but she paid for it when Loureda (3-1 MMA, 3-1 BMMA) landed a 2-3 combo and dropped her with a left hook. Loureda rushed in for the finish, but when she realized she couldn’t get it, she decided to let Guy up.
