The UFC Foundation and Total Wireless are kicking off Fight Week in partnership with Hit The Books MMA, a nonprofit promoting literacy through sports. Together, they will host a Q&A (November 13) and youth fitness seminar with former UFC flyweight champion Alexa Grasso and welterweight contender Gilbert Burns. The event will be open exclusively to students of Hit The Books MMA, giving them a unique chance to experience how education and athletics intersect.Following the seminar, Total Wireless will extend the Fight Week excitement with a lineup of community events across New York City leading up to UFC 322.
Total Wireless is committed to connecting communities in meaningful ways that go beyond wireless service. Our partnership with UFC creates authentic opportunities for families to engage with their sports heroes while reinforcing the importance of community connection. We’re proving that championship experiences shouldn’t require championship prices.
