On January 15, Ravage Apparel Company reached an agreement to sponsor mixed martial artist, Edward “Keilan” O’Daniel for his forthcoming fight against Charlie Brenneman at the Extreme Challenge: War at the Shore MMA event on January 23, 2009.

“Keilan dominated his competition in 2008, winning all four of his fights in the first round by either submission or TKO and continues to get better with his training at Walker Submission Kickboxing. Keilan is a very exciting MMA fighter and we expect great things from him in 2009 as his career progresses, and we are thrilled to have Keilan as part of the Ravage Fighter family,” says Ravage Apparel president Kevin Coleman.

Sponsorships designed to promote exposure for MMA fighters

Sponsoring MMA fighters is an important part of our business. At Ravage Apparel we enjoy the opportunity to sponsor the dedicated athletes competing in mixed martial arts. We are humbled that fighters want to proudly wear our MMA lifestyle clothing and consider it an honor that fighters, both professional and amateur, prefer our products.

Part of what makes a great MMA fighter is having a well rounded skill set, but what is also equally important is personality, charisma, and exposure. Gaining exposure that highlights a mixed martial artist’s skills and notoriety presents significant challenges for up and coming fighters. The Ravage Fighter sponsorship program is uniquely designed to help build exposure and identity for up and coming MMA fighters. By utilizing the Ravage Fighter MMA network and online properties, we are able to create exposure for our sponsored fighters that link them to fans and promoters. This exposure helps enhance their fighting profile and makes the fighter more attractive to larger MMA organizations. This type of sponsorship arrangement is a win-win for Ravage Apparel and the sponsored fighter.
