Ffion Davies signs multi-match UK exclusive deal with Polaris
Top pound-for-pound grappler Ffion Davies has signed a multi-match UK exclusive contract with Polaris.
The UK’s top submission grappling promotion, Polaris, has signed Ffion Davies to an exclusive multi-match contract.
Polaris announced the deal on social media.
“We are extremely proud to announce the signing of Ffion Davies to a UK exclusive contract,” said Roy Billington, Polaris’ Head of Athlete Relations. “Watching Ffion develop and grow as an athlete over the years has truly been a pleasure to watch and we hope by working together we can help take her career to the next level.
“At Polaris we are committed to helping European athletes develop their personal brands and reach the highest points in our sport and we hope Ffion and our other signed athletes continue to do amazing things.”
The deal is exclusive only with respect to the UK, meaning that Davies is free to compete outside of the country in other promotions, such as FloGrappling’s Who’s Number One (WNO).
