Cristiano Ronaldo joins this high-contact sport besides football
Cristiano Ronaldo is delving into the world of MMA, yet another high-contact sport. The G.O.A.T.’s partnership with WOW FC, a Spanish MMA promotion co-owned by UFC star Ilia Topuria, is set to shake things up in the MMA world. The alliance stems from the intent to boost MMA not just in Spain but worldwide, leveraging Ronaldo’s massive influence and WOW FC’s rapid growth.
WOW FC, already Spain’s top MMA promotion, is making a massive international push by bringing Cristiano Ronaldo on board. CR7, as a shareholder, comes bearing financial development and global expansion, considering his unmatchable media footprint. Ronaldo, along with UFC champion and the face of WOW FC, Ilia Topuria, can take MMA to new heights in Europe, LATAM, and the Middle East.
Ronaldo expressed that the sport aligns with his values of discipline, respect, resilience, and excellence. “I’m excited to share some big news: I will become a shareholder of @wowfcmma! We share values I truly believe in – discipline, respect, resilience, and the constant pursuit of excellence. WOW FC is building something unique and powerful, and I’m proud to join this project to help elevate the sport and inspire the next generation”, he announced on X.
The UFC legend also shared his thoughts on the powerful collaboration. “Having Cristiano join WOW FC is a powerful moment for the sport. Together, we will take MMA to new heights and inspire athletes and fans worldwide to believe that anything is possible,” he said.
WOW FC is already at a high with attendance above 400% (over 5,000 per event!) while broadcasting in 170+ countries. Ronaldo’s entry guarantees a fruitful partnership that will surpass boundaries and cross oceans.
