"Our goal with the UNLEASH campaign is to capture the passion, sacrifice and dedication that are required of anyone who is preparing for a fight. Whether that battle takes place in the ring or in everyday life, everyone fights for something," says Meredith Harris, Director of Marketing.  "We wanted to pay homage to the moment when that preparation translates into action and it's our hope that through this campaign more people will look to fight sports as an outlet to help them physically and mentally prepare for the battles they face each day."
