ONCHAN, Iha de Man, 11 de maio de 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- PokerStars, o parceiro de pôquer oficial do Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), acaba de anunciar os três novos embaixadores do PokerStars durante o UFC® 237: NAMAJUNAS vs. ANDRADE, no Rio de Janeiro, neste sábado, 11 de maio.

O UFC® 237 deu ao PokerStars a plataforma perfeita para anunciar que a "voz do octógono" Bruce Buffer, assim como o campeão peso-pesado do UFC, Daniel Cormier, e o nº 12 dos meio-pesados, Johnny Walker, se tornaram embaixadores da maior empresa de pôquer do mundo.

Buffer, Cormier e Walker participaram de um evento de imprensa especial após a pesagem do UFC® 237, que celebrou o lançamento do UFC Spin&Go, o primeiro produto de co-branding entre as marcas PokerStars e UFC. Futuramente, a parceria irá oferecer muitos produtos, promoções e experiências.  

Os mais novos membros do time PokerStars receberam as boas-vindas do embaixador do PokerStars e jogador profissional de pôquer, Andre Akkari. "Para mim e para muitos brasileiros, o pôquer e o MMA são paixões", disse Akkari. "É emocionante darmos essa chance para os fãs de pôquer interagirem com o UFC, bem como para os fanáticos por MMA terem mais formas de interagir com o esporte que tanto amam. É uma honra poder contar com atletas incríveis em nosso 'corner'." 

"Esta parceria reúne dois pesos-pesados do mundo do entretenimento e, felizmente para mim, duas das minhas grandes paixões", afirmou Bruce Buffer. "Eu tenho jogado pôquer toda a minha vida. Sou frequentador assíduo das mesas em minha cidade natal e me lembro de ver a lendária performance de Moneymaker em 2003, pouco antes de ele se tornar um membro do time PokerStars. É uma honra poder me juntar a ele ao lado de renomados atletas e de profissionais de pôquer."

"Estou bastante feliz por representar o PokerStars em sua jornada com o UFC. Adoro um desafio e qualquer oportunidade de refinar meu jogo", comentou Johnny Walker. "O PokerStars é o melhor no que eles fazem, assim como o UFC. Portanto, faz todo sentido unir esses dois gigantes para oferecer oportunidades mais emocionantes aos fãs de todo o planeta."

"Ter nomes tão expressivos se unindo à equipe do PokerStars sintetiza ainda mais nossa parceria com o UFC, à medida que buscamos aproximar nossos clientes da emoção do octógono", disse Christopher Coyne, diretor de Marketing da Stars Interactive Group.

 "Estamos muito satisfeitos pelos fãs terem participado de nossas atividades de preparação para o UFC 237. Estamos ansiosos para trazer novas experiências aos nossos admiradores enquanto desenvolvemos nossa parceria com o UFC. Esperamos ver essas grandes estrelas envolvidas em promoções, eventos, campanhas, geração de conteúdo e muito mais", acrescentou Coyne.

Como forma de abraçar a cultura brasileira na preparação para o UFC® 237, o PokerStars levou o UFC diretamente ao coração do Rio de Janeiro, trabalhando com artistas de rua locais famosos para criar icônicos "lambe-lambes", um estilo de arte de rua muito popular no Brasil.

Rose Namajunas, Jessica Andrade, Jared Cannonier e Anderson Silva também foram retratados em uma série exclusiva de cartas de baralho criada por Marcelo Ment, Carlos Bobi, Cazé e Lidia Viber, que foram "escondidos" pela Cidade Maravilhosa. As obras de arte levaram os fãs a uma "caçada pelo Rio" em uma competição que valia convites VIPs do PokerStars e do UFC para o UFC® 237. 

A celebração também contou com uma escultura espetacular de areia na icônica praia de Copacabana. Erguida pelo talentoso escultor local Rogean Rodrigues, a construção em 3D retratou os lutadores do UFC® 237 Jared Cannonier e Anderson Silva para satisfação dos fãs que passaram pelo local.

Para a Arena Jeunesse, palco das lutas do UFC® 237, o reconhecido artista Jair Damasceno criou uma escultura de areia de dois metros de altura representando Anderson Silva e Johny Walker jogando pôquer. A dúvida que ficou na cabeça dos fãs era: quem venceu a partida?

Outros produtos e recompensas especiais da parceria entre UFC e PokerStars serão anunciados nos próximos meses.
