MusclePharm to Be Featured On UFC's Landmark Debut On FOX

DENVER, Nov. 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- MusclePharm Corporation, a Nevada corporation ("MusclePharm" or the "Company") (OTCBB: MSLP), an expanding U.S. nutritional supplement company, is pleased to announce that it will be heavily featured during Saturday's historic Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) debut on FOX.

MusclePharm, which recently became the official nutritional supplement provider of the UFC, will have logos prominently featured on the mat and  bumpers of the UFC Octagon on what will be a landmark night in MMA and in the UFC.

The UFC, the world's premier MMA organization and the largest pay-per-view content provider in the United States, will have its ground-breaking network television debut on FOX on Saturday. The debut will feature a must-see heavyweight championship fight between Cain Velasquez and Junior Dos Santos at the sold out Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.

After a "UFC Primetime" show previewing the historic event on FOX drew more than two million viewers, Saturday's heavyweight championship fight will be viewed by tens of millions of fans and will immediately become one of the most-viewed events in UFC history.

MusclePharm's mat and bumper placement will give the award-winning supplement company an ideal platform to further showcase its growing brand in front of a huge viewing audience on network television.

"An amazing night like Saturday is where we saw the sport going when we began sponsoring these incredible UFC fighters back in 2008. There is no doubt this will be one of the biggest nights ever for the UFC and we are thrilled to be part of such a historic event," MusclePharm CEO Brad Pyatt said.

"We always knew that this was the fastest growing sport in the world, and the UFC and with this partnership MusclePharm will only continue to grow. This is definitely an exciting time for MusclePharm."

MusclePharm's partnership with the UFC will give MusclePharm exclusive in-ring placement, including its trademark MP logo on the Octagon mat and bumpers, up to 10 times per year during UFC live events, which are viewed by millions of fans worldwide.

MusclePharm will also continue to sponsor many of the UFC's top fighters, including worldwide superstars Anderson Silva, Clay Guida, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Rashad Evans.
