Njokuani will be fighting Edson Barboza at UFC 128 on March 19th at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
Through this sponsorship, the Manumission Skin Care logo will be prominently featured on his fight shorts and Octagon banner. In addition, Njokuani’s social media will publicize his partnership with Manumission Skin Care. Anthony personally uses Manumission Skin products for his every day grooming and skin care requirements and has recently turned his personal barber on to Manumission’s Skin Care products as well.
Njokuani (14-4) will be making his first appearance in the Octagon since being signed into the UFC ranks after the WEC merger at the end of 2010. In entering the Octagon, Njokuani looks to make a statement to UFC Matchmaker Joe Silva that he is a force to be reckoned with in the stacked lightweight division. Njokuani also looks to build on the momentum from his TKO victory over Edward Faaloloto at WEC 52 in November.
“As the manager of many top rated Mixed Martial Artists, it is critical to not only look after their training, diet and finances, but also their skin,” said Oren Hodak, President of KnockOut Representation. “Our athletes’ intense training schedules in diverse environments and conditions places significant abuse upon their skin. Manumission Skin Care products (manumissionskincare.com) enable our athletes to feel comfortable and secure training, especially considering the large number of partners they work with.
“A natural target audience for Manumission Skin Care is the martial arts community; because they are conscious about cleaning and protecting their skin,” said Dan Ostrower, Founder and President of Manumission Skin Care. “We have committed to working in the MMA space because these athletes truly put it all on the line and deserve to be supported.”
“I am honored to have the opportunity to represent Manumission Skin Care at UFC 128,” said Njokuani. “I start with their shave gel in the morning, and throughout the day depend on the whole line of Manumission products. I highly recommend Manumission Skin Care for athletes of any sport.
