Payment in Bitcoin: MMA fighter signs contract with Eagle FC

 


"The fact that I was paid in Bitcoin and not criticized for it was a big reason," said MMA fighter Kevin Lee of his deal with Eagle FC.


Kevin Lee is a professional mixed martial arts fighter and stated that Bitcoin ( BTC ) was an important factor in choosing his new advertising company.


In the MMA newsletter BJ Penn it was reported that the Eagle Fighting Championship from Russia wanted to pay Lee in Bitcoin as part of a contract for four fights . The fighter said to be a Hodler before the bull run in 2017 and used later part of the profits to live after knee surgery this.


"The fact that I was paid in Bitcoin and not criticized for it was a big reason I signed with Eagle FC," said Lee. "That gives me a lot more financial security and also helps me fight better."


Exactly how much Eagle FC pays him has not been made public. Lee earned up to $ 280,000 in his UFC fight against Tony Ferguson. In a December 17 interview , Lee implied that Eagle FC was paying more than he made while contracting with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). At the current rate, that would mean it would get around 5.86 BTC or more. 


Lee, also known as "The Motown Phenom," was recently banned from fighting for six months and fined after testing positive for Adderall. He was later released from his UFC contract, whereupon Eagle FC tried to win him over. His first match at the advertising company is expected to take place on March 11th against Diego Sanchez.


The UFC has also looked at digital assets through partnerships with crypto and blockchain companies. In July, the organization signed a $ 175 million deal with Crypto.com for the next ten years. As part of this agreement, UFC NFTs were issued . In addition, the organization previously partnered with the blockchain reward app Socios and the tokenization platform Chiliz. In this context, a fan token should come out.



Time and again, MMA fighters have shown their interest in BTC and other tokens since Jon Fitch became the first professional fighter to be paid in Bitcoin in 2015. Last year, former UFC lightweight champ Eddie Alvarez said he bought some BTC . Ben Askren got paid for promoting Litecoin ( LTC ) and the recent BTC halving.

Not a bear market: According to the analyst, the current BTC decline is the same as in previous Bitcoin cycles

  According to one analyst, Bitcoin is behaving the same overall this year as it has in previous cycles. Bitcoin ( BTC ) will have “at least one more boost higher” before hitting all-time highs this halving cycle, analysts are currently saying. The well-known analyst TechDev has spoken on Twitter about the current state of BTC and said that contrary to many opinions, nothing unusual has happened in BTC/USD in 2022. Bitcoin in 2021: Nothing to see here Sentiment has also taken a hit, falling 40 percent from November's all-time high of $69,000. There is still “extreme fear” in the bitcoin and altcoin market. TechDev, known for his bullish views on Bitcoin, sees no reason to worry. He analyzed the new wallet addresses in relation to course behavior and shows here that the scenario from last year was by no means an isolated case. Back then, the number of new addresses made lower highs while the price made higher highs. "In 4 of the 6 corrections, there was divergence with price ma...

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...
