Lonsdale Re-Signs Colin ‘Freakshow’ Fletcher

Dec. 20, 2012 - PRLog -- Iconic British brand Lonsdale announces a new sponsorship agreement with British MMA Lightweight Colin Fletcher. Through the agreement, Colin will wear Lonsdale apparel and fight equipment.

Given the nickname ‘Freakshow’ because of his elaborate entrances and his clown costume and make-up, Fletcher has an impressive fighting record. Star of TUF: The Smashes, the latest international season of The Ultimate Fighter, the 6ft 2ins Sunderland fighter has racked up 8 impressive professional wins, including appearances on BAMMA UK (British Association of Mixed Martial Arts).

“We have been working with Colin since his early days in MMA, supporting him from his early fights and are now delighted to be continuing our partnership as he moves into a new chapter of his career with UFC” said Lonsdale’s General Manager, Ian Campbell. “He has flourished on both the local and national circuits and we are excited to see him achieve more success on the world stage!”

This is a great example of how Lonsdale supports a fighter from their early grassroots beginning through to becoming an elite champion.

Fletcher joins an esteemed team of current Lonsdale fighters; fellow MMA Middleweight Champion Tom Watson, WBO Light Heavyweight World Champion Nathan Cleverly, IBF Super Middleweight Carl Froch as well as boxing legends such as Muhammad Ali, Henry Cooper and Joe Calzaghe, who have all trained and fought in Lonsdale.
