If you watched UFC 158®, you saw that Georges St. Pierre fought a smart and calculated fight in route to his victory over Nick Diaz. If you follow SafeAuto’s Facebook page, you are well aware that the state minimum auto insurance company had logo representation during the primetime bout.
The week leading up to the fight we decided to give away a 16x20 signed poster of Nick Diaz and Carlos Condit from UFC® 143. SafeAuto receives fantastic interaction from UFC® fans throughout their various social media channels. Why wouldn’t we hook-up an avid fan (who was randomly selected) with this great prize?
The contest generated 267 comments, an all-time record for SafeAuto’s Facebook page. The lucky winner was Chris Trulove from Georgia. As an avid UFC® fan, we are extremely excited to provide Chris with the signed poster.
If you entered the contest and didn’t win, don’t be too bummed out. We are giving away a Georges St. Pierre signed hat! That’s right; you can win an autograph from GSP. Mike Sloan from Sherdog.com calls St. Pierre “One of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the sport.”
All you have to do is send an email to socialmedia@safeauto.com and tell us who won our ‘Do The Jingle’ contest (Hint: visit www.safeauto.com/dothejingle).

For our first contest, we will be giving away an official UFC® signed glove from Jon “Bones” Jones. If you can name the music contest that SafeAuto runs beginning in January (hint: visit our website to find out) you will be entered into a random drawing for your chance to win this amazing gift!

You won’t meet two bigger UFC® fans than Michael Schweigert Hogart and Frank Horak. While attending broadcasting school together, the two hosted their own MMA radio show. With such a familiarity with the growing sport of mixed martial arts, the two couldn’t believe what they were about to experience courtesy of SafeAuto Insurance.
The diehard fans won airfare, hotel, tickets to the UFC® on FX bout in Minneapolis, plus a private meet and greet with SafeAuto Fight Team member Travis ‘Hapa’ Browne at the weigh-ins. “Not only did we get to meet one of our favorite fighters in Browne, we also got to meet Randy Couture and my dream girl, women’s Strikeforce champion Ronda Rousey,” stated an ecstatic Schweigert.
As an official sponsor of the UFC®, the state minimum auto insurance company will run several contests on their Facebook page to reward the rapid UFC® fan base. “Even though ‘Hapa’ couldn’t pull of the win, overall this trip was a once in a lifetime experience,” said Schweigert. “I’ve been bragging to all of my friends non stop about the access we got this weekend!”
SafeAuto tries to constantly stay engaged with their social media following. The “VIP at the UFC” Facebook contest was another example how they were able to excite their online following. “It really speaks volumes about SafeAuto that they would reward fans like this, it’s just amazing!” stated Schweigert.
