NORCROSS, Ga. - Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals on Monday signed a multi-year endorsement deal with MMA World Champion Holly Holm. The New Mexico fighter known as "The Preacher's Daughter," was a force to be reckoned with during her boxing career before transitioning to MMA full time two years ago.
Holm was 33-2-3 as a pro boxer, winning titles for the WBF, WBAN, WBC, GBU, WIBA, IFBA, WBA and IBA before joining the MMA ranks.
"Holly takes her nutrition very, very seriously. You can't cut corners in her sport. She must align herself with the best in each field and that is what she has done joining Hi-Tech's team," stated Jared Wheat, president Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals. "Hi-Tech's Brands of sports nutrition products and diet aids is leading the sports supplement industry and has been in the business of helping elite athletes for 20 years," he said. "Holly is breaking barriers in the MMA field and Hi-Tech has shattered multiple barriers in the nutrition field. It's a partnership of the two best in their respective fields".
Holm pulled off one of 2015's biggest upsets with a second-round head-kick knockout of heavy favorite and undefeated champion Ronda Rousey at Etihad Stadium in Melbourne, Australia.
"Holly is an exceptional athlete and a proven winner with a rare ability to be a World-Champion in three different sports," added Anthony Presciano, VP brand management Hi-Tech Pharmaceutical. "Her work ethic combined with her relentless competitive drive make her an ideal fit for the Hi-Tech brands. We are excited for what the future holds for Holly and the Hi-Tech family of Brands."
