Meridianbet , the consumer division of Nasdaq-listed Meridian Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: MRDN), was Presenting Partner of UFC Fight Night: Medić vs. Rodriguez. Undefeated Brazilian welterweight Michael “PQD” Oliveira, sponsored by sister company Meridianbet Brazil, made his UFC debut on the Belgrade card and ended it in the first round by knockout. And for Meridian Holdings, the timing carried its own weight. The UFC night was, in effect, the most public expression yet of a company that spent two decades building where few were watching. And a Serbian-born, Nasdaq-listed company using the moment to show how far a brand can travel without ever really leaving home.
