Last night Rory Macdonald took the Welterweight belt from Douglas Lima via unanimous decision. It was a close fight, with Rory sustaining some nasty leg kicks. Moving from the UFC to the Bellator promotion allowed Rory to pick his own sponsors. Featuring prominently on his clothing before, during and after the fight was DASH. One of the best cryptocurrencies out there in my opinion in terms of tech, community, governance and usage (alongside Steem of course). Rory was sponsored with 330 Dash equivalent to $268k today. A proposal was put forth to Masternode miners, those who hold 1000 Dash who can vote on payments directly from the blockchain.
Rory is a big follower of blockchain, and has previously tweeted about crypto projects. Follow him on https://twitter.com/rory_macdonald?lang=en
He fights in the same division and promotion as Steems number one mma fighter surely these two will clash in the future. Maybe
could sponsor
so we can see crypto vs crypto sponsorships go head to head! That would be epic, and of course the fight would be so damn awesome!
