UFC fighter Diego Lopes named as Aviator brand ambassador

Popular featherweight fighter to promote the world’s number one crash game to his fans in Brazil and beyond

UFC superstar Diego Lopes da Silva has become the latest brand ambassador for Aviator, the number one crash game in the world with more than 60 million players a month, placing 400,000 bets per minute across 5,500 online casinos.

The 12-month partnership will see Lopes participate in a range of marketing campaigns to raise awareness of Aviator among his large and loyal fan base in his home country of Brazil.

Lopes is one of the UFC’s top featherweight fighters and is something of an MMA icon, especially in Brazil, a market where Aviator has built significant momentum in recent months.

Diego Lopes cemented his status as one of the UFC’s top featherweights with a win against Jean Silver at UFC Fight Night 259.

Lopes is the latest name to join an impressive roster of Aviator brand ambassadors from the UFC, including Arman Tsarukyan, Alex Pereira, Johnny Walker and Merab Dvalishvili.

These collaborations form part of a wider marketing deal between Aviator’s parent company, SPRIBE, and the UFC, which has seen Aviator branding appear inside the famous octagon.

It has also created a brand ambassador fund, allowing SPRIBE to join forces with UFC athletes and have them work as Aviator brand ambassadors.

Giorgi Tsutskiridze, Chief Commercial Officer at SPRIBE, said: “Diego is one of the biggest names in the UFC right now and has quickly risen through the ranks to be a title contender.

“To be able to partner with such a high-profile fighter is a major advantage for us as we continue to drive awareness of Aviator among players in Brazil and beyond.

“Diego’s fans will be captivated by the experience that Aviator provides – it’s fast paced, action packed and social, making it just as thrilling as watching Lopes go head-to-head with his opponents.”

Diego Lopes, UFC Featherweight Fighter and Aviator brand ambassador, added: “Aviator is one of the most thrilling games I have ever experienced, and that’s why I am proud to become an Aviator ambassador.

“Strap in, hold tight, and watch as the plane and the win multiplier climb higher. But just like a knockout punch, timing is everything – you need to pick the right moment to cash out to lock in the biggest wins.

“Keep your eyes peeled, as we have some great campaigns in the works, introducing Aviator to my fans in Brazil and beyond with my trademark style.”
