SINGAPORE, October 27, 2014 - Brightcove Inc. (NASDAQ: BCOV), a leading global provider of cloud services for video, today announced that Singapore-based ONE Fighting Championship, Asia’s largest Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) organisation, will leverage the Brightcove Video Cloud online video platform for live streaming coverage of its multi-city world tour, which kicked off with the Roar of Tigers event in Kuala Lumpur on October 17th, 2014.
"ONE FC is thrilled to be working with Brightcove to make our live events easily accessible to MMA fans on as many devices as possible," said Jason Lim, Director of Online Media and Publications for ONE Fighting Championship.
