50 Cent is looking to make some waves in the MMA market.
The landscape of MMA continues to change and transform, defying what we all thought was possible. In the inception of the sport, few thought that it would ever reach the height of popularity that it has, but lo and behold, mixed martial arts has grown to become the most recognizable combat sports on the planet.
As we creep further into the future, we’re seeing more and more celebrities get involved with MMA promotions. Bellator MMA has risen to become a legit competitor to the biggest mixed martial arts organization on the planet, the UFC. With plenty of talented fighters on their roster and some great cards with spectacular finished, Bellator has caught the eye of many fans, average Joes and celebrities alike.
One such celebrity is famed rapper and actor, Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson.
Known for his outspoken personality and ventures into multiple different markets, it was reported back in May that 50 Cent signed on with Bellator MMA as a promoter. Now it appears that 50 Cent is taking things a step further as he has signed a deal with the MMA organization to promote the entertainer’s very own apparel brand.
‘Get the Strap’ started out a social media tag that 50 Cent used in nearly all of his posts. Now the saying has grown in such popularity that the entertainer has decided to try his hand at transforming the saying into a clothing brand and it appears Bellator MMA is completely on board with the idea.
