Ain't nobody saying he's not training hard, or even that he wouldn't win a fight or a rematch against Fabricio, it's that it comes with a higher cost that it did when he was younger. It all adds up on the body and the brain. That is all.
I am not denying that he is older than other fighters and it's his time to finally retire like most of his generation including Mirko CroCop, but I want to see him in one last fight and than he get back to getting fat ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Preparations for Bellator 262 are staring and main event is reserved for females this time, in flyweight division between champion Juliana Velasquez and challenger Denise Kielholtz. Interesting thing for this fight card is return of 42 years old veteran Matt Mitrione in fight against Tyrell Fortune. Matt Mitrione defeated Fedor Emilienko in 2017 but then he lost 4 fights in a row after that. https://www.bellator.com/

I wonder how perceptions of that will change as the years go by in the sport, and if the formation of a fighters union can somehow play a role in all of it. time will tell.

According to CNBC, the sponsorship is worth $175 million and will last over 10 years.
As part of the agreement, Crypto.com’s brand will appear on fight kit items worn by athletes during competition as well as clothing worn by the training staff. Additionally, Crypto.com has acquired the rights to UFC’s newly launched sponsorship category known as “Cryptocurrency Platform Partner.”
Crypto.com co-founder and CEO Kris Marszalek called the UFC deal a “historic moment,” noting that it would help the sports industry “accelerate the world’s transition to cryptocurrency.” https://cointelegraph.com/news/ufc-inks-175-million-sponsorship-deal-with-crypto-com

Mark Cuban also made steps towards introducing crypto to Dallas Mavericks fans, but he has been into crypto for a long time now so it's not that much of a surprise. Again, a great initiative from UFC, let's se how it turns out.

It is I remember a few years ago Litecoin advertising on MMA and that was the start of a lot of events sponsored by Cryptocurrency companies, then we have Adesanya as the ambassador of Stake.com, advertising on MMA is bringing a lot of attention to the Cryptocurrency industry and this is a major move and those projects that are actively marketing to sports organizations like UFC should be supported because there's a huge possibility of pump

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.

Bealltor 262 is starting in four days and so far there is one cancelation Linton Vassell vs Marcelo Golm, but women championship fight is still on Juliana Velasquez vs Denise Kielholtz, with Brazillian being a heavy favorite. next weekend the next ksw event will take place. this time again in warsaw and with the duel in the main fight: 93 kg/205 lb: Szymon Kołecki (9-1 , 8 KO) vs Akop Szostak (4-3, 3 KO)
I never watched any of this fightersand some of the are even unranked, but I might watch main event in light heavyweight divison.

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.

One more fight is canceled for Bellator 262 that is starting in two days, Roman Faraldo withdrew from his fight against John Ramirez because of his family situation. It is not clear if Bellator will find some last minute replacement fighter to fight against John Ramirez. Matt Mitrione vs Tyrell Fortune moved to co-main event and I think that Fortune is clear favorite in this fight like odds suggest. Mitrione is much older fighter and with 43 years and 3 defeats in last four fights with one no contest, I don't see any chance for him in this fight, while Fortune have only one defeat in his pro carrier.

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.

Juliana Velasquez continued her perfect record with won by split decision against Denise Kielholtz and she defended the title again. Matt Mitrione lost like I expected but he complained a lot to the ref about head kick that nocked him down, and despite everything I think that Tyrell Fortune deserved to win. I was not interested much in other fights but I see that Russian Pantera girl Diana Avsaragova continued with her 4th win and moving up the ranks, and there are not much hotties in Bellator ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Seems like we are finally getting legit fighters from other promotions than UFC. Now, I know what everyone will say, there have been legit fighters in other promotions for a while, and that's true, but it seems now it's getting to the same level as UFC.

The most that will benefit on that Poirier wearing the tshirt is the people who have a stake on crypto.com because that's going to be seen by millions if not thousands of people and we just need about a thousand of them to get in to make the market move. I would love if more of this sporting events get in the market to be sponsored.

Bellator and PFL are not on the same level like UFC, and that was shown during the period of last two years that UFC used best with their Apex Arena and Fight Island project. General quality of fighters is much better in UFC, but I wouldn't say that fighters from other organizations are bad, and we saw how many of them are losing in OneFC even if they were champions in UFC. OneFc is coming back in ten days and they are planning to expand and have future fights in Europe and not only in Asia. https://www.onefc.com/

UFC by the numbers has more quality, but also more shit fights that are beneath the PFL and Bellator level, not to mention OneFC.

Big fight coming in Bellator 263 event Featherweight category Patricio Pitbull vs AJ McKee Jr, and AJ has perfect 17-0 record, I checked bookmakers odds and they are slightly in favor of Pitbull. Other interesting fight is Manny Muro vs Usman Nurmagomedov who is Khabib's cousin with perfect record of 12-0, and overall this is a great fight card that is worth watching. https://www.bellator.com/
