Intimidation to sponsor UFC veteran Sean Salmon at MFL 29 on April 13 in South Bend, Indiana

Intimidation Clothing is pleased to announce its sponsorship of UFC veteran Sean Salmon in his upcoming bout at MFL 29 on April 13 in South Bend, Indiana. Salmon (18-19) is set to take on fellow UFC veteran Todd Brown (15-4) in the night’s co-main event.

Sean Salmon, who has fought for the UFC and Strikeforce as well as the NAAFS, XFO, Ring of Combat and several other top-level regional MMA promotions, holds a 18-19 pro record as he looks to get back to his winning ways opposite Brown. Over his seven year pro career Salmon has faced many of the top fighters in and around his weight class including Rashad Evans, Alan Belcher, Alexander Shlemenko, Jorge Santiago, Tom DeBlass, Lucio Linhares, Travis Wiuff, David Heath, Jason Freeman and more. After a 9-1 start to his pro MMA career Salmon got the call to fight in the UFC where he had the unenviable task of facing both Rashad Evans and Alan Belcher in his two fights. Now training and teaching at Fightopia in Piqua, Ohio, Salmon has continued to fight a variety of big names at regional MMA events and has a renewed energy as he looks to start a winning streak this wearing Intimidation’s premium quality EliteFighter MMA fight shorts.

Intimidation sponsored pro fighters go 9-2-1 during weekend of record brand expansion

Intimidation Clothing has completed another record breaking weekend as the company sponsored six MMA events across the USA with crews selling at four of those events. From South Dakota to Kentucky, the Intimidation brand continued its rapid brand expansion inside and outside of the world of Mixed Martial Arts while sponsored professional fighters went  9-2-1 overall. From thrilling finishes and dominating decisions to record sales at events, it is clear to see why Intimidation is one of the fastest growing brands of lifestyle apparel in the USA.

The action began on Thursday night as Intimidation was seen twice on SpikeTV and four sponsored fighters combined to go 3-0-1 inside the Bellator cage. Rodrigo Lima and James Edson Berto both saw their fights air on SpikeTV while Julien Williams was also able to come away with a win at Bellator 94 in Tampa, Florida.

The weekend portion started on Friday night in Chicago, Illinois where XFO 47 took place. In addition to sponsoring the event, the Intimidation brand was a first time sponsor of prospect Andre Feliciano as he improved to 3-0 as a pro with a unanimous decision win. The sponsorship of Feliciano and the XFO event continue the brand’s strong growth in the Chicago region with many pieces in place to rapidly expand in the coming months.

Saturday night the brand’s expansion continued as Intimidation sponsored a Fury Ultimate Cage Fighting event for the first time. As the FUCF promotion held another MMA event in Brookings, South Dakota, fans were treated to contests and giveaways throughout the night. Meanwhile, in Kokomo, Indiana, Colosseum Combat was in action with a solid pro/am card that continued the tradition of MMA excellence in Northeast Indiana. While Intimidation sponsored Bobby Emmons came up short of his goal in the Colosseum Combat pro featherweight title fight, there’s no doubt that the great MMA fans in Indiana will continue to get a heavy dose of Intimidation in the weeks and months to come.

In Canton, Ohio, the NAAFS put on their Caged Vengeance 13 event – one of their biggest events in recent memory. Featuring 7 amateur fights and 7 pro fights, the pro card alone featured two former champions in action, one current champ in a catchweight bout and the promotion’s inaugural bantamweight title fight. To add to that, two of the pros, George Comer and Isaiah Chapman, were both 2-time NAAFS amateur series champions. Widely regarded as one of the top MMA promotions in the Midwest, their Caged Vengeance 13 event did not disappoint as just two of seven amateur fights went the distance and both Tyler Walsh and RJ Buck scored impressive wins in finishing their opponents while sporting the Intimidation brand.

During the pro portion of the stacked card Team GriffonRawl’s George Comer (2-1) started things on a positive note with a 2nd round submission win over a submission specialist in Stephen Singleton (1-1 pro, 8-1 amateur). After a perfect 9-0 amateur career Comer, seen on the left in the Intimidation/GriffonRawl MMA Academy co-branded tee, dropped his pro debut but has bounced back with consecutive pro wins over Singleton and Khama Worthy.

The second pro bout of the night at Caged Vengeance 13 pitted one of the toughest light heavyweights on the planet in Cleveland’s John Hawk against Michigan product Ray Lopez (7-4). Hawk (8-4) was able to control the action throughout winning the battle on his feet and on the ground in a one-sided affair that saw “Big John” on the winning side of three 30-27 scorecards. NAAFS Featherweight Champion Frank “The Tank” Caraballo (pictured, right)was next to enter the cage and the bad blood created at weigh ins spilled over into his bout with Tony Hervey. Caraballo took little time to dispatch Hervey scoring a guillotine choke submission midway through the 1st round and then making sure his opponent knew who won. With the win Caraballo improved to 12-5 as a pro with 7 wins in his last 8 fights and he is now unbeaten in his past 8 NAAFS fights.

In a late addition to the card, TUF 16 veteran Julian Lane took a fight with former NAAFS Welterweight Champion Nick “The Savage” Duell on just 10 days’ notice. Lane, fighting in his home state of Ohio for the first time since The Ultimate Fighter, traded with Duell for nearly two full rounds before Duell was able to score a TKO victory.

Duell and Lane were followed into the cage by Northern Ohio fan favorite Tony “The Mexican Muscle” Castillo, Jr. (pictured, left) facing undefeated Anthony Morgan. Castillo opened each round with a fury of punches before taking his opponent to the ground as he was able to grind out a lopsided decision win. The loss drops Morgan to 3-1 as a pro after a perfect 8-0 amateur career as he is slated to fight again in just three weeks opposite Intimidation sponsored Justin Steave at the Intimidation sponsored Pinnacle FC event near Pittsburgh. Castillo, a long time member of Team Intimidation, improved to 6-4 in his pro career with four wins in his last five fights.

In the night’s main event, Intimidation sponsored bantamweight Isaiah “The Beast” Chapman once again showed his warrior spirit on the night where his first signature shirt was released. Chapman was unable to come away with the win, but he showed his toughness and grit by fighting through a full three rounds with a dislocated shoulder and without the use of his left hand. He was forced to throw in the towel after the fourth round, but it was clear that it wasn’t a decision that was made lightly.

Intimidation crews were also present at the MXC event in Cedar Springs, Michigan, and the Hardrock MMA 55 event in Louisville, Kentucky.

All in all, it was a record breaking weekend as Intimidation continues to grow across the Midwest and entire U.S.

Midwest Connection: Intimidation Clothing emerges as premier MMA inspired apparel brand in Midwest

In less than three years time the Intimidation brand has emerged into one of the most respected and successful brands on the Midwest MMA scene. Once seen as an Cleveland brand, Intimidation Clothing has made strong efforts to expand the company’s reach hitting other Midwestern cities like Chicago, Columbus, Cincinnati, Detroit, Minneapolis and more. A title sponsor of the North American Allied Fight Series (NAAFS) and their SportsTime Ohio programming, the Intimidation brand is regularly seen across the globe on MTV2 and EPIXHD as well as on MMA highlight shows on HDNet and Spike TV. Creative, savvy marketing, great relationships and quality products have built the brand into a force to be reckoned with in the MMA industry and a rapidly growing lifestyle brand.

 

Creative Marketing

Built with the help of a successful Internet Marketing firm, Intimidation Clothing has used basic and advanced online marketing principles from day one. But in recent months the Intimidation brand has expanded their advertising efforts running ads on ESPN Radio and Fox Sports Radio programming throughout Northeast Ohio and Western Pennsylvania. “With Fox broadcasting free UFC events on the radio it is a perfect way to advertise our brand to the large number of UFC fans,” said Luke Jernigan, President & CEO of Intimidation Clothing, LLC. The radio ads and a variety of traditional and internet radio interviews with Jernigan have helped the brand gain awareness in a variety of markets. This is coupled with a large number of fighter sponsorships both on the national stage and throughout the Midwest on the regional MMA circuit. From a MMA cutman to logos inside the cages of many of the top MMA promotions in the Midwest and sponsorships of fighters across the region, the MMA world is seeing the Intimidation brand over and over again at different venues in different cities, week in and week out. With plans to continue expansion into other complementary industries already underway, the MMA world is not the only focus and the company will certainly continue to seek creative ways to get the brand name out there to the masses.

The other element that often gets overlooked is the way Intimidation markets their own. “We regularly do a news write up about the professional fighters we sponsor as well as many of the events and promotions we sponsor,” said Jernigan. “If we can help a fighter like Brian Rogers get more attention or more views on YouTube or help a young pro like Mark Cherico build his name then it will eventually lead to our brand being seen more, so it’s a win-win.” While measuring the value of the company’s promotional efforts is not always easy, there is no doubt that promoting an article to nearly 14,000 Facebook fans or 2,200+ Twitter followers is valuable to the brand’s awareness. “People approach me constantly telling me they read our articles on fighters and events we sponsor,” Jernigan stated. “Add to it our staff’s strong understanding of Web Analytics and we can see the online marketing efforts are continually taking effect with our fans, customers, fighters and more.”

Relationship Building

“Intimidation Clothing has been a great partner for the NAAFS and more importantly for our fighters,” stated NAAFS President & CEO Greg Kalikas about the impact of the Intimidation brand. A veteran of the karate world and MMA promotion business with well over 100 events under their belt, the NAAFS is one of the top regional MMA promotions in the USA constantly producing top-level MMA talent and first class events.

“We’re ecstatic to have such a well-known and highly respected brand like Intimidation as a part of this momentous event,” said Rick Pyles, co-owner of Ultimate Victory Challenge in regards to their historic UVC 20 event on August 4th at the Ohio State Fair. “We love working with Luke Jernigan and Intimidation not just because of their business acumen, but because they embody the same principles that UVC was founded on: faith, family, and fighting.”

For Intimidation Clothing the quotes above are not about what the company has done, but more about what the company is about. “Whether we are talking about an intro level amateur or a UFC veteran, I value each fighter’s contribution to this sport,” stated Jernigan. “We have customers who I can remember what they bought a year ago and fighters who I can quote who they fought, when and where without blinking. We pay attention to detail and make people feel important, something all of us want in life, to feel important. The awesome part is we do not have to change or be fake to do this – this is how I was raised and how this company will continue to be built.” This was further proven in a recent thread about fighter sponsorships on the MMA Underground Forums at MixedMartialArts.com when UFC Heavyweight Shane Carwin and others shared their positive experiences with the Intimidation brand.

One of the most valuable components to the make up of Intimidation Clothing as a company is the many connections inside the MMA industry. “While our relationships are strong with a large number of fighters and agents, they are just as strong with many of the top MMA promotions in the Midwest. As a regular sponsor of NAAFS events in Ohio & West Virginia, UVC events in Columbus, Ohio, Colosseum Combat North of Indianapolis, the XFO in Chicago and SEG/Driller Promotions in Minneapolis, Minnesota, our name is regularly heard in a variety of strong markets,” said Jernigan. Add a strong, growing presence in Pittsburgh & Erie, Pennsylvania, and throughout Kentucky and Michigan as well as along the East Coast and the company’s growth strategy is clear.

 

Quality Products

When Intimidation Clothing was started the company’s goals were to produce quality products with bold themes at a great price. Those principles continue to ring true to this day. “If I am going to put my brand’s name on it then I am going to make sure the product is of good quality,” stated Jernigan. From high quality t-shirts and hoodies to some of the best quality shorts on the market, Intimidation looks to hold this high standard. “I have been told by both Jason Dent and Forrest Petz that our EliteFighter board shorts are the best shorts they have ever owned. These two guys have a combined 11 UFC fights between them; that says a lot in my book.” The same goes for the company’s core – t-shirts. “I bought cheap t-shirts on my honeymoon which I washed and could never wear outside of the house again,” Jernigan said. “I vowed to never be so worried about cost that we hurt the consumer. Happy customers keep coming back and tell their friends; we are here to keep our customers happy.”

 

In less than three years time Intimidation’s growth as a brand is no doubt impressive. From their strong ties to many of the top regional MMA events in the Midwest to great contacts with the most successful gyms in the region it’s clear to see why Intimidation Clothing is catching on. In an industry where it seems a large number of individuals think they can swoop in a make money Intimidation has laid out the plan on how to build the needed trust and capitalize off their contacts. “We have watched several MMA fight companies pop up, make a few waves and drop off the face of the Earth in the past three years,” state Jernigan. “Intimidation Clothing has a foundation built for long term sustained success with nearly 30 authorized retail locations and fantastic relationships with many of the top MMA promotions, agents and fighters in the Midwest and beyond. We’re not going anywhere but up.”
