Bucked Up Names Multiple Weight MMA Champion Conor McGregor as New Brand Ambassador

The Partnership Will Introduce the 'Notorious Buck' Flavor Line

OREM, Utah, Oct. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Bucked Up, a leading sports nutrition and lifestyle brand, announces a partnership with multiple weight MMA champion and entrepreneur Conor McGregor. Together, they have developed the new 'Notorious Buck' energy drink flavors, Irish Apple and Orange, as part of their collaboration on energy drinks, with new workout supplements to come. 

"At Bucked Up, we don't just aim to be the best—we aim to dominate. That's why bringing Conor McGregor on board was a no-brainer," said Bucked Up CEO and Co-founder Ryan Gardner. "Conor's not just a fighter; he's a force of nature. His relentless pursuit of greatness, his unapologetic confidence, and his refusal to back down from anyone or anything are the exact qualities that define Bucked Up. Together, we're here to shake up the industry, break records, and leave the competition in the dust. Buckle up, because with Conor McGregor and Bucked Up, there's no stopping what's coming."

UFC icon Conor McGregor brings the same level of commitment to his expanding business ventures as he does to his record-breaking career. Recently announced as an owner of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, the mixed martial artist and entrepreneur continues to expand his empire in the rapidly growing supplement and energy drink markets through his partnership with Bucked Up. 

"I don't partner with just anyone," said McGregor. "Bucked Up is the real deal—no nonsense, no shortcuts, just straight power and performance, exactly how I operate. They've got that same unstoppable drive, that hunger to be the best. This partnership isn't about playing it safe; it's about pushing limits, taking over, and leaving the competition gasping for air. I'm excited to join forces with a brand that gets it. Bucked Up and The Notorious? You better believe we're coming to take over the game."
