I also saw that Dustin Poirier was wearing the crypto.com t-shirt on the fight so there are definitely moves towards individual sponsorships, but this seems to take it to another level and will probably solidify how sports view crypto in regards to doing business with it.
I have seen that t-shirt and I think that millions of people have seen it too because it was big on his chest plus the interview by Rogan was really made it more focused on him so the website got more exposure, pretty sure that it's going to be big for the crypto community for obvious reasons.yeah, this kind of promotion can only benefit crypto in general. We might see more sports adoption of crypto in the next cycle. It will definitely be interesting to see how it all pans out, but these small steps are adding up and sports and crypto are getting closer together.
And don't forget that it has been a while that stake.com is the UFC Official Betting Partner - https://stake.com/ufc. And now with the sponsorship of crypto.com. I believe, in the next days to come, there will be more crypto sponsorships not only in UFC but other sports as well, which is already happening. But UFC is gaining a lot of audience these days so crypto sponsorships is just on the right track.
Crypto sponsorships will become the new clothing deals fighters used to have in the past. I am all for it, more money in their pockets means more satisfied fighters. I just hope that it's a permenant thing and not reserved for when we are in the bull market.
So as many say "age is just a number". But the situation with Fedor is different. Even though he has not officially retired and still fights (last fight was against Quinton Rampage Jackson, that became fat or did not even train for the fight), he serves as a deputy for 10 years already. I think it is impossible to train and compete on professional level, be involved in politics and develop politics career. But I would love to see his exhibition/farewell match.
