The Professional Fighters League (PFL), the fastest growing and most innovative sports league, today announced Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey as the Official Whiskey partner of PFL Europe.
Proper No. Twelve will sponsor all four PFL Europe events across the UK, Germany, France and Ireland including Regular Season, Playoff and Championship. This partnership will allow Proper No. Twelve to continue its rapid rise founded in a close association with the MMA community. The partnership includes event branding, broadcast advertising, fan engagement and consumer promotions.
“The Professional Fighters League is excited to partner with Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey for the inaugural PFL Europe Season which kicks off on March 25 in Newcastle,” said PFL CEO Peter Murray.
"The PFL and Proper No. Twelve both look forward to delivering fans the opportunity to experience the best European MMA fighters compete in the PFL's true sport season format with scheduled events in 2023 also to be staged live from Berlin, Paris and Dublin. More Than A Fight."
PFL Europe is the PFL’s first international league and will showcase the very best MMA athletes across Europe. PFL Europe will hold quarterly events throughout 2023 beginning in Newcastle on March 25, airing live on DAZN in most parts of the world.
The ground-breaking league will feature 32 of Europe’s top fighters from 14 countries competing across four weight divisions.
