HotelPlanner Welcomes UFC Fighter Colby Covington as Brand Ambassador

The company is sponsoring Colby Covington, an American professional Mixed Martial Artist, a crowning champion currently ranked number 4 in the UFC welterweight division


WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., May 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HotelPlanner, a leading travel technology platform and hotel booking engine, today announced a new collaboration with Colby Covington, one of the top-ranked fighters in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

Colby Covington was born in Carmichael, California and honed his wrestling skills at Oregon State University. Nicknamed "Chaos," Colby’s tenacious personality and relentless wrestling style have made him a fan favorite and a thorn in the side of his opponents. He boasts a professional record of 17 wins and 4 losses, with impressive victories over Robbie Lawler and Demian Maia. Colby's crowning achievement came in 2018 when he captured the interim UFC Welterweight Championship. As of May 2024, he remains a force to be reckoned with, currently sitting at number 4 in the welterweight rankings.

As a brand ambassador, Colby will give away $5,000 in HotelPlanner free hotel booking credit to one of his fans through his social media during his fights.
