Games Global has signed an exclusive deal with UFC, the world’s premier mixed martial arts organisation, for the development of branded content influenced by the popular sports brand.

Games Global will produce unique UFC-themed slot titles over a three-year period, with the first title scheduled for release and ready for a global rollout in July of this year, following an exclusive soft launch in May.

UFC is a globally recognised sports brand with more than 700 million fans and approximately 260 million social media followers. The organisation produces more than 40 live events annually in some of the most prestigious arenas around the world while broadcasting to over 975 million TV households across more than 170 countries.

As UFC has a similar target audience to Games Global, the deal provides many great partnership opportunities including the ability to collaborate on new game titles with the goal of allowing both parties to recruit new players and fans. UFC will promote and support the launch of the games via its global marketing ecosystem.

Andy Booth, Chief Product Officer at Games Global, said: “Games Global is thrilled to announce this knockout partnership with UFC, bringing the Octagon to life across multiple epic slot titles in the next few years. This exclusive deal allows us to develop UFC-themed online slots for millions of UFC fans who share our passion for action and excitement. Partnering with UFC, one of the most popular sports brands in the world, is significant for us and we look forward to showcasing our first title to the world in the coming months.”

This exciting new partnership with Games Global allows us to do just that by bringing the intensity and energy of the Octagon to life through unique UFC-themed slot titles. We believe that these games will be a hit with fight fans everywhere, and we are proud to be working with Games Global, a leading provider and distributor of iGaming content, to deliver this world-class entertainment experience.”
