Top Stocks For 12/17/2012-8

DENVER–(CRWENewswire)–MusclePharm® Corporation (OTCBB:MSLP), one of the fast-growing nutritional supplement companies in the United States, with a proprietary formulation used in eight performance products, will be sponsoring several Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) superstars during Saturday�s UFC pay-per-view, UFC 117: Silva vs. Sonnen. Eight to ten million people are expected to watch the fight worldwide and the MusclePharm logo and publicly traded stock symbol, MSLP, will be displayed on each of the athletes� shorts and hats as well as a ring-side banner.

Among the fighters sporting MusclePharm on Saturday include middleweight champion Anderson Silva, lightweight Clay Guida and heavyweight Junior Dos Santos. Each of the fighters will be appearing on the main television card.

Silva will be fighting in the main event of the heavily-anticipated pay-per-view card, where he will square off against Chael Sonnen. The explosive middleweight champion is considered the top pound-for-pound fighter in mixed martial arts and the Brazilian native is undefeated in all 11 of his UFC fights, dating back to 2006.

He last defended his belt at UFC 112 in Abu Dhabi, earning a victory in the main event. Thanks to his dynamic fighting style and incredible athletic ability, Silva has become an international superstar while also promoting the MusclePharm brand. That immense popularity and exciting fighting style has help expand the MusclePharm brand to gain visibility on a worldwide level.

�Anderson Silva is the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world and we�re excited that he uses and endorses MusclePharm products,� commented Cory Gregory, MusclePharm�s President. �Anderson Silva has become the Michael Jordan of MMA through his series of successful fights and MusclePharm is extremely pleased to have the opportunity to work with such a talented athlete that garners such strong interest and viewership on a global stage.�

Guida has been a MusclePharm mainstay for several fights and his all-out fighting style has made him a fan favorite and a perfect MusclePharm spokesman. Nicknamed �The Carpenter,� Guida�s workmanlike approach in the UFC Octagon has led to several memorable fights and it is a perfect pairing for the MusclePharm brand. His energetic and outgoing personality has also made him one of the most popular UFC fighters in the world.

Dos Santos has taken the heavyweight world by storm in the past year and is undefeated in his five UFC fights, with all of them coming by TKO. Dos Santos will fight Roy Nelson in a No. 1 contender�s heavyweight bout, meaning Dos Santos would fight for the UFC heavyweight championship with a win over Nelson. The fight will serve as another incredible showcase for the MusclePharm brand on what is expected to be a spectacular pay-per-view card.
