OKLAHOMA CITY, OK January 26, 2010 – Century, LLC.extends congratulations to its partnering company, the Ultimate Fighting® Championship® (UFC®). On Saturday, January 23, 2010, Century joined the UFC at the grand opening of UFC Gyms in Concord, California. The San Francisco-area gym is the first of what is expected to be up to 10 additional UFC Gyms in the coming year.

In addition to traditional exercise equipment and programs, the opening showcased a large octagon-shaped mat where martial art and MMA classes will take place. The gym also features Century-manufactured training gear and equipment, including the product lines of UFC®, Century Gold™, and BOB®-Body Opponent Bag.

UFC Gym is a combination of a traditional 24-hour fitness center with a mixed martial arts training facility. The UFC concept includes using the names of MMA fighters for future UFC Gyms near the fighters’ hometowns.
