In its ongoing development, BenchWarmers, Ireland’s leading youth focused sports news media brand, has launched ‘Ultimate Fight Corner’ as a new service to cater to the fast-growing interest in fight sports from millennial and GenZ audiences.
“Since Conor McGregor took to the stage in 2008, the appetite for fight sports in Ireland has exploded. BenchWarmers originally created a Facebook Page called ‘Conor “Notorious’ McGregor’ to provide a community for fans to share their views on his meteoric rise and phenomenal success, but now we feel the time is right to expand the service beyond Conor’s achievements, beyond the UFC and to create a new platform for young fight sports fans to follow the key news in boxing and MMA and to provide a safe environment for them to share their opinions with other like-minded fight sports fans”, says Neville O’Donoghue, BenchWarmers Editor-in-Chief and Founder.
The new brand is accessible through the benchwarmers.ie website as well as exclusively on Facebook (www.facebook.com/ultimatefightcorner), where is has over 1 million followers.
In the near future, the brand will launch on Instagram and other social media platforms as well. In addition, Neville O’Donoghue hopes to interview current and former MMA and boxing stars on the BenchCast Podcast, which is available in all the usual places.
