GetFugu, Inc., the next generation mobile search tool, reportedly has entered into an agreement with TapouT, LLC, a mixed-martial arts apparel, gear and lifestyle brand, to provide GetFugu’s “See It, Say It, Get It” technology to enhance MMA fans’ interactive experience on their iPhone, Android and BlackBerry through TapouT’s new MMA “mobile center” exclusively available on GetFugu.com.

 

According to GetFugu officials, TapouT’s MMA mobile center will showcase a seamless way to purchase TapouT clothing, accessories and gear in real time using the company’s vision, voice and location recognition software.

 

The company officials said that users can also access MMA content on the fly including fighter profiles/stats/bios/news and videos. GetFugu will also be offering Facebook (News - Alert) widgets and other social networking integration in the near future.

“This is an opportunity for TapouT to provide a mobile interactive experience reaching MMA fans, old and new, across the globe,” said Dan Caldwell, CEO, co-founder, TapouT, in a statement.

 

Caldwell said that GetFugu’s vision, voice and location recognition software will provide MMA fans with a mobile platform designed for those who love MMA.

“It’s no secret that MMA is the world’s fastest growing sport in the world today. Our partnership with TapouT will enable MMA fans to access information on their favorite fighter through their mobile phone – anywhere, anytime,” said Michael Solomon, chairman of GetFugu.
