Silver Star to Sponsor Lyoto Machida at UFC 104

During a recent episode of Cageside Seats, Luke Burrett, co-owner of Silver Star Casting Company told me that his biggest goal was for Silver Star to sponsor one of the main event fighters in every UFC event over the next year.

Having already signed some of the biggest names in the fight game, Burrett has added another huge one to Silver Star's list.

From the Press Release:

Lyoto “The Dragon” Machida will defend his light heavyweight championship under a Silver Star sponsorship in UFC 104 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, October 24, 2009.

Machida (15-0-0) who won the light heavyweight champion title in UFC 98, will represent Silver Star in the octagon with a signature walkout tee as he defends his crown against Mauricio “Shogun” Rua (18-3-0) in the co-feature event.

“Silver Star is built for champions and Machida is a true champion in and out of the ring,” said Silver Star owner, Luke Burrett. “Machida sets the bar high, and is someone MMA fans can look up to.”
