Rockstar Energy Drink is a proud sponsor and supporter of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), its athletes and all their disciplines from all over the globe. Sponsorships include UFC and PRIDE Fights as well as up and coming fighters like Theirey Sokoudjou and Murilo Rua.
In 2007, Team Rockstar began sponsoring EliteXC and King of the Cage. EliteXC is the live events division of ProElite, Inc. headed by legendary fight promoter, Gary Shaw. EliteXC brings to the world the most exciting entertainment experience in the world of MMA with live arena-based entertainment events, cable television programming on Showtime Networks and community-driven broadband entertainment via the Internet through ProElite.com. "Rockstar is a great fit for EliteXC," said Doug DeLuca, CEO of ProElite, Inc. "From their demographic and their image in the marketplace, our two brands are a perfect match. We are proud to have them as part of the ProElite team."
King of the Cage (or KOTC) is a MMA organization viewed as a minor circuit. KOTC features up and coming MMA stars (as well as veterans), which may eventually go on to either UFC or PRIDE. Team Rockstar sponsor many of KOTC MMA fighters and champions including Welterweight Champion Aaron Witherspoon and Mike “The Joker” Guymon. Rockstar is excited to be apart of the action.
While lining up these great events, Rockstar Energy Drink sponsored Matt Linland to fly to the ICE Palace in St. Petersburg, Russia to fight top-ranked heavyweight fighter on the planet, Fedor Emelianenko in the Clash of the Nations.
Thanks to all our great athletes. GO TEAM ROCKSTAR!
