WEST COAST AUTHENTIC SPONSORS MIGUEL TORRES FOR UFC 139

Deerfield Beach, Fla. – Authentic Sports Management (ASM) today announced that the leading source for extensive and original inventories of sports photos and autographed memorabilia, West Coast Authentic, will sponsor top UFC 135-pounder Miguel Angel Torres in his UFC fight in San Jose this Saturday night, November 19.

West Coast Authentic will be on display in the Octagon, visible on Torres fight shorts as well as the walk-in banner that serves as the camera backdrop during official fighter introductions. Torres’ walk-in entrance and entire fight against Pace will stream live on the UFC’s highly popular Facebook page, which has registered over six million “Likes,” at Facebook.com/UFC.

“We are pleased to support Miguel Torres at UFC 139 this weekend, not only is he a fan favorite and one of the most exciting fighters to watch in the Octagon, he is also a great ambassador for the sport,” said Jason Bobbitt, Owner, West Coast Authentic.  ”We will be cheering for Miguel, and we wish him the best of luck for a fantastic fight Saturday night.”

West Coast Authentic is no stranger to the sport of MMA. The company and its trademark logo is a fixture in the world-famous Octagon, having served as a sponsor for other UFC greats including Anthony Johnson, Kenny Florian, Jon Jones, Melvin Guillard, Dominick Cruz, Gray Maynard and Ben Henderson, among others.

West Coast Authentic recognizes the immense popularity of UFC fighters and the powerful marketing potential inside the Octagon. With the “UFC on FOX” event attracting more than eight million viewers in its historic network debut Saturday, Nov. 12, West Coast Authentic has proven to be in the right place at the right time with its sponsorship choices.
