DENVER, April 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- MusclePharm
Corporation, a Nevada corporation
("MusclePharm" or the "Company") (OTCBB: MSLP), an expanding U.S.
nutritional supplement company, is pleased to announce MusclePharm
will be at the Direct Energy Centre in Toronto, Canada for the UFC Fan Expo,
April 29-30.
As a exhibitor of the UFC Fan Expo—and sponsor of several top
UFC competitors including Anderson
Silva, Rashad Evans,
Clay Guida and Thiago "Pitbull"
Alves—MusclePharm will be giving fans a chance to get up close to
some of UFC's top athletes and see them in person, at Booth 2131 on
the Fan Expo floor. Those who cannot attend in person can check out
the event on the Web.
MusclePharm staff will be on hand at the UFC Fan Expo to bring
its Facebook and Twitter followers all of the action, from both the
booth and the event. Attendees will find full daily schedules of
booth activities posted on Facebook and up-to-the-minute updates on
Twitter, while those who follow at home will be able to see photos
of athletes from the booth on Facebook and ask them questions
through Twitter.
"We want every UFC fan to be a part of this incredible event,
whether they're here in Toronto
with us or following along at home," said MusclePharm CEO
Brad Pyatt. "We're going to be using
social media tools in innovative ways to bring people closer to the
event than ever before. Even if you're following us at home, you'll
feel like you're here with us. We'll also post highlights of the
event and behind-the-scenes information you won't find anywhere
else."
As part of their efforts to bring fans at home closer to the
event, MusclePharm's Twitter followers and Facebook fans will have
a chance to win a UFC Fan Expo posters, MusclePharm Sportswear
(powered by TapouT®), and many other prizes, autographed by all of
the MusclePharm athletes in our booth. While the athletes are in
the booth, Twitter followers and Facebook fans enter by either
Tweeting a question to @musclepharm, or posting the question to
MusclePharm's Facebook wall. Everyone who does either of these will
be entered into the contest. Some fan questions will be answered
directly by their favorite UFC fighters.
Visitors to the booth can also learn more about AND GET FREE
SAMPLES of MusclePharm products, including:
- New MuscleGel®, which uses a proprietary formula
containing 22 grams of protein to provide extra energy during a
workout and fast recovery of muscles afterward. Available in Key
Lime, Banana Cream and Tropical Mango flavors, MuscleGel is
formulated for fast absorption by the body and was developed in
consultation with professional athletes.
- Time-release protein Combat Powder®
- Top-rated Assault® pre-workout formula
"The relationship with our sponsored UFC fighters goes far
beyond having them wear our shirts or pose with our products for
the cameras," Pyatt explained. "Guys like Evans, Guida, Silva and
Alves help us during the development stage of all of our formulas.
Their input, along with rigorous scientific research, shapes
everything we do. We're always proud to come to an event like UFC
Fan Expo and see these guys compete. We know that we play a role in
their success."
