“We are thrilled to partner with Dwayne Johnson and his Project Rock brand to incorporate these innovative shoes into the UFC’s signature fight kits,” said Tracey Bleczinski, UFC Senior Vice President of Global Consumer Products. “The main mission of Project Rock brand, to help individuals on their journey to achieve greatness by equipping them with the right tools, aligns with the determination, dedication and perseverance of UFC fighters, as they pursue greatness in their own right, both inside and outside the Octagon.

The deal also provides opportunities to create additional exposure through original UFC content across linear, digital and social media platforms.
