Conor McGregor Signs Exclusive Memorabilia Deal with Fanatics
Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) December 09, 2015 -- Fanatics, Inc., the market leader for officially licensed sports merchandise, announced its exclusive memorabilia agreement with UFC superstar and UFC Featherweight Champion Conor McGregor. Fanatics Authentic, the company’s memorabilia division, will be the sole distributor of authentic Conor McGregor autographed memorabilia, offering a one-of-a-kind selection of collectibles on http://www.FanaticsAuthentic.com and http://www.UFCStore.com.
McGregor made his UFC debut on April 6, 2013, defeating Marcus Brimage by TKO, and has since earned a reputation as one of the most polarizing and successful athletes in the UFC. Winning five of six UFC bouts by knockout thus far in his career and coming off a win at UFC 189 on July 11 for the UFC Interim Featherweight Championship, McGregor merchandise is already in high demand. Courtesy of his partnership with Fanatics, McGregor will be able to bring UFC fans a wide selection of autographed memorabilia and fight-used items.
“We are thrilled Conor decided to partner with us so we can offer his fans a truly unique selection of UFC memorabilia,” said Ross Tannenbaum, President of Fanatics Authentic. “As the first UFC fighter to join our team, we are proud that Conor has decided to position himself alongside athletes that have signed on to work exclusively with Fanatics for memorabilia, such as Steph Curry, Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning, David Ortiz and Kris Bryant.”
“I’ve done my research and the numbers don’t lie. Fanatics is the best company for memorabilia and I’m the best fighter. Why would I partner for memorabilia with anyone else? This was a really easy decision for me,” said McGregor.
Conor McGregor is currently 6-0 in the UFC, 18-2 overall, and is scheduled to fight Jose Aldo in a Featherweight Championship Unification bout at UFC 194 on December 12 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. McGregor’s autographed memorabilia is now available at http://www.ufcstore.com/Collectibles_Conor_McGregor_Gear, http://www.FanaticsAuthentic.com and http://www.Fanatics.com.
