UFC (Ultimate Fighting) going dotMOBI?

UFC Mobile, coming soon (from UFC's homepage) ...



Whois shows UFC.mobi reg'd to UFC's parent company. Any predictions?

He doesn't, nor did he say it would be UFC.mobi, but it certainly could be. Like it said, "coming soon" so we will have to wait and see.

I think it's time we send letters to UFC telling them to use their .mobi address when they launch their mobile site. I'll email them tonight and so should the rest of you.

The post does say that UFCs parent company regged UFC.mobi. This is a good sign of their intentions.

Couple of thoughts , pro and con ...

UFC seems to gone dotCOM even though their primary web address for years was .TV. So they seem to be conscious of sustaining a brand around dotCOM. However, they are preparing to expand into (4) other countries outside the USA. And it would make sense perhaps that they use a global tld like dotMOBI in delivering their content over mobile phones. The other countries include Canada and the UK.

This would seem to be a very calculated and deliberate decision ... to promote your mobile content via mobile.ufc.com or ufc.mobi. Having registered ufc.mobi I assume shows some consideration on their part for the extension's potential utility and benefit. Or maybe just defensive registration? I look forward to the final outcome on this one.

UFC and .mobi is a great fit. If they use ufc.mobi that will bring alot attention to mobi just with this one site. Honestly i think UFC.mobi is way more brandable than mobile.ufc.com.

I don't know, I think the public will have an easier time remembering mobile.ufc.com. Or was that wap.ufc.com or ufc.com/mobile

mirrorcube, you have identified the whole point of .mobi, it is all about branding and this domain is yet another beautiful example of why .mobi has such a bright future.

greap point, it's hard to imagine that would go the trouble of regging ufc.mobi just to let it sit idle

also, this thread reminds me again of the branding power of mobi
companies dig it
