Buffalo Wild Wings has unveiled a takeout offer for UFC fans around the country. Beginning on May 13, and available during the weekends of UFC 198, 199 and 200, fans can order a UFC Takeout Pack, which includes 60 boneless or traditional wings and chips and salsa, with the option to upgrade to Chili Queso dip, according to a company press release.
"We're excited to offer our guests with more ways to enjoy their favorite Buffalo Wild Wings food while watching their favorite sports and events," said Todd Kronebusch, VP of guest experience and innovation. "Whether it's in our restaurants or preparing for a watch party at their home, Buffalo Wild Wings is helping UFC fans do fight night right."
To get fans excited for the UFC Takeout Pack offer, Buffalo Wild Wings released a hidden camera video today entitled "Takeout Fakeout." The video features an unsuspecting UFC fan arriving at a local Buffalo Wild Wings in Las Vegas to pick up a takeout order ahead of UFC 197.
Fortunately for the fan, when he arrives to pick up his takeout, he is greeted by UFC Hall of Famer Forrest Griffin and current UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold to view some of the UFC 197 preliminary fights. After watching a few fights, and enjoying their favorite wings, the fan and his friends are whisked away to the MGM Grand garden arena where they met UFC President Dana White and watch UFC 197 up close and in person.
Buffalo Wild Wings is also giving fans the chance to win the ultimate VIP weekend experience at UFC 200. Now through May 25, fans can enter for the UFC 200 Sweepstakes on Buffalo Wild Wings' Facebook, Twitter and YouTube channels. They can enter a maximum of three times, one entry per platform. One grand prize winner and a guest will receive roundtrip airfare, hotel accommodations, dinner, UFC Fan Expo tickets, access to a UFC VIP Experience, a meet-and-greet with a UFC fighter and tickets to UFC 200. Guests also have a chance to win one of 200 other prizes that include a UFC T-shirt and a $50 Buffalo Wild Wings gift card.
Buffalo Wild Wings expects to show UFC 198, 199 and 200 in more than 900 restaurants in the U.S., according to the press release.
