MMA Endorsements: A Sports Agent’s Dream
If you’re an MMA fighter, you have to be pleased at the recent news that Georges St. Pierre has signed with Under Armour. As MMA goes more mainstream – and people finally recognize MMA for what it is, which is a legitimate sport that has nothing in common with WWE – more endorsements are sure to follow.
A lot of people are probably asking themselves: Now that St. Pierre is in the fold, who will be next? The question that I would like answered is: Which mainstream company will dip their toes into the MMA world next? It’s not like MMA is a stranger to big corporations; many endorse the league overall. But to date few major sports endorsing companies endorse individual athletes, and that is sure to change now that Under Armour has signed up St-Pierre. This is good news for MMA fighters and their sports agents.
