Ex UFC title contender and now Bellator MMA fighter Rory Macdonald has just anouned that he has secured a lucrative sponsorship from a major player in the Cryptocurrency world: Dash.
Macdonald and his coach Firas Zahabi are big time Crypto enthusiasts and are also personal holders of Dash.
Zahabi even pays MMA and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competitors in Dash:
Macdonald stated about his sponsorship deal:
“In 2014 I was introduced to Bitcoin from my coach Firas Zahabi the week I was fighting Tyron Woodley. Since then we have stayed interested in the cryptocurrency space, and it so happened that [Dash’s] Jeff Smith and Firas had connected over doing a project together with Dash. Since then Firas connected me and Jeff. Everything came together very organically as we worked on a proposal for my next fight sponsored by Dash. The community really rallied behind the idea and I believe this is just the start of the Dash takeover into the MMA community for cryptocurrencies.”
