Carl's Jr. Will Be the Official Burger of UFC in Australia and New Zealand Through the End of 2022

CKE Restaurants Holdings, Inc., parent company of Carl's Jr.(R), and UFC, the world's premier mixed martial arts organization, are teaming up for a knockout partnership that brings together two renowned, global brands.

Known for their bold, craveable burgers, Carl's Jr. is launching a full creative campaign with a mix of local and national media across traditional and digital channels, including social media and print. Later this year, a limited-edition UFC-inspired burger will launch in celebration of this iconic partnership. Customers will also have the chance to enter to win various prizes including access to UFC event hospitality & ticketing, UFC Fight Pass subscriptions, UFC Store Gift Cards, Carl's Jr. swag, and other prizes through December 2022.

"We are thrilled to announce that Carl's Jr. Australia is the "Official Burger of UFC."

"As we continue to grow our business in Australia, we look forward to getting our delicious burgers into the hands of UFC fans across the region and around the world."

To build excitement leading up to the UFC's first-ever Fight Night in Paris, Carl's Jr. Australia is giving one lucky customer the chance to win an Ultimate Prize Package - a VIP trip to a UFC Event in Las Vegas. More details will be posted via Carl's Jr. Australia and UFC ANZ social channels within the next month, so make sure to stay tuned.

"We're delighted to partner with such an iconic and beloved brand like Carl's Jr. Australia and welcome them as our first Official Quick Service Restaurant partner within the ANZ region," said Nick Smith, Vice President of Global Partnerships, UFC.
