SCCG NextGen, the talent agency vertical of SCCG Management, proudly announces the renewal of its sponsorship partnership with Thunder Fight and Thunder Fight Center, Brazil’s premier martial arts event organization and training venue. This continued collaboration underscores SCCG’s commitment to supporting innovative sports organizations in emerging markets like Brazil, where MMA is one of the fastest-growing and most exciting sports.

Since its inception in 2014, Thunder Fight has been a launchpad for elite Brazilian MMA talent, with over 27 fighters advancing to the UFC and countless others making their mark on the global stage. Of the 27, many are current international stars, such as Diego Lopes, Jailton Almeida, Caio Borralho, Natalia Silva and Marina Rodriguez. With over 84 registered competitions and 398 MMA Matches, the organization has built a legacy of excellence, hosting legends such as Jorge Patino Macaco, Reginaldo Vieira, and Elias Silverio. Thunder Fight continues to be recognized as one of Brazil’s top MMA breeding grounds, providing a platform for rising stars in combat sports. Out of all brazilians in the UFC currently, 17% are Thunder Alumni.

Through this renewed partnership, SCCG Management will maintain a powerful brand presence across all Thunder Fight Center events and media promotions, ensuring continuous exposure on the Octagon mat, corner stickers, event posters, social media, and video highlights. This collaboration strengthens SCCG’s influence in Brazil’s thriving sports entertainment industry, fostering engagement with passionate MMA fans and sports bettors alike.
