"Today, this is one of the company's most important projects in terms of supporting the Armed Forces. Our goal is to provide the unit with everything it needs to successfully perform combat missions. We are well aware that this is a long-term commitment, and we are ready to support the company as long and as much as the situation at the front requires," comments Andriy Matyukha, President of the FAVBET Foundation and founder of FAVBET.
"FAVORIT" is a renewed unit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which operates under the leadership of Denys Perch, co-founder and vice president of the Ukrainian Federation of MMA (UFMMA) and vice president of the WWFC professional mixed martial arts league. Denis's unit is one of the so-called "RUBAK" companies, or companies of strike unmanned aerial vehicles that use drones to conduct reconnaissance and strike missions.
Most of the fighters of the "Favorit" are representatives of martial arts and other sports, many of them knew each other before the start of the full-scale war. However, according to the commander, what unites them is not sport, but the knowledge of military affairs they gained during regular training and real-life missions on the front line.
Prior to leading FAVORIT, Denys Perch worked his way up from a scout to a reconnaissance company commander. In the fall of 2022, he took part in a counteroffensive in the Kharkiv region, and then performed combat missions on the Bakhmut and Lyman directions.

"Denys is a fighter in every sense of the word. Before the war, he made significant efforts to develop MMA in Ukraine, and now he is working just as hard to clear the country of the occupiers. We are confident in his experience and the professionalism of the soldiers under his command," FAVBET says.
Support for the FAVORIT company is part of FAVBET's systemic efforts to support the Ukrainian Armed Forces and other defense forces. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the Ukrainian army has received more than 250 vehicles, including 53 Peugeot Landtrek SUVs for the Army of Drones' strike companies, as well as more than 130 drones of various modifications, with the assistance of the company and the Favbet Foundation. The total amount of assistance to date is over UAH 190 million.
