July 19, 2010 - PRLog -- LAS VEGAS —XYIENCE, maker of Xenergy, the official energy drink of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), brings professional mixed martial artist (MMA) James “The Hammer” McSweeney to Costco, located at 2400 Monument Blvd in Concord, Calif. on Saturday, July 24, 2010. McSweeney, who appeared on the tenth season of Spike TV’s hit reality television show The Ultimate Fighter (TUF): Heavyweights, will sign autographs for fans from 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.

McSweeney, 29, who stands 6’4” and weighs in at 250 pounds, defeated Darrill Schoonover by technical knockout (TKO) in the third round of the TUF 10 Finale on December 5, 2009.The professional fighter started kickboxing at the age of five and entered his first semi-pro fight at the age of 13. At 18 he decided to focus his complete attention on training for MMA and turned professional. He is slated to compete again at UFC 120 on October 16, 2010 in his native London.

“Xenergy drinkers are loyal MMA fans, so it’s very exciting for XYIENCE to be able to deliver a special experience like meeting James McSweeney,” says Reuben Rios, XYIENCE’s vice president of U.S. sales, of the upcoming Costco event. “We’re very looking forward to working with the Concord Costco on a very successful event.” Rios seeks a turnout similar to that of a recent appearance in which XYIENCE’s athlete brand ambassador Wanderlei Silva attracted over 500 MMA fans and shoppers to an autograph session at a grocery store located in the Central Coast, Calif. area.

The Concord Costco carries four flavors of Xenergy, including Xenergy Premium in Mango Guava and CranRazz, and Xenergy Xtreme in Cherry Rush and Citrus Slam; XYIENCE will offer samples of all four flavors during Saturday’s event. XYIENCE’s brand ambassadors include UFC fighters Wanderlei Silva, Matt Serra and Dan Hardy, UFC cutman Jacob “Stitch” Duran, and spokesmodels Amanda Corey and Amber Nichole.  

Through televised broadcasts of UFC events, the XYIENCE brand reaches some 100 million-television households in North America.  As a part of XYIENCE's UFC sponsorship relationship, its logo receives prime positioning on the mat and bumpers of the octagon. This often results in a fight's critical moments taking place on or next to the XYIENCE and Xenergy logos, and translates into millions of viewer impressions for XYIENCE.  Internationally, XYIENCE reaches more than 420 million television households via UFC broadcasts and Pay-Per-View broadcasts.
