A pair of Toronto MMA enthusiasts have developed an iPhone app generating possible MMA names for its users. Similar to the Jersey Shore nickname generator developed a couple years ago, the app is aims to be an entertaining app for MMA fans.
Via press release:
Toronto, ON (April 14, 2011) – Fans and wannabe fighters can get a taste of the MMA spotlight with the Cage Name app, from Me Thinks Studios. The entertaining and easy-to-use app generates fighter personas by pairing unique nicknames with standout images for every type of MMA fan – from the glass-jawed rookie to the cauliflower-eared veteran. The MMA-focused name generator is one of the first of its kind.
With a tap, a swipe, and a shake, the app lets users choose names from an array of categories and then matches their name with a comic book-style character depicting one of the major fighting styles.
The app has a price point of $0.99. Cage Name is available in iTunes for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
Payout Perspective:
An interesting way to enter the MMA marketplace: the iPhone app. At a price point of $0.99 the app should garner the interests of MMA fans willing to try something out for a buck. The company does a good job in trying to capitalize on the social media angle by encouraging its users to integrate the app with other social media such as Twitter and Facebook. Perhaps it will not be the next “Angry Birds” (or maybe it will) but its a novel idea to attract MMA fans.
So, what was the nickname that the App suggested for you? 😉
The Cupcake Kid. 🙂
Nice!°
