[rdbase]

Announcement of the first crypto casino officially securing a UFC fighter for naming them as their brand ambassador was a huge milestone for the rather young industry of cryptocurrency casinos compared to Las Vegas.

So now we know about the news, so it is now time to learn about who this world champion is all about in these series of posts over the course of the countdown to their first match back in the octagon as the Stake namesake being held up high if they reach the pinnacle of greatness by having a chance to be a fighter to reach 29-0 only after one other in this category.

Also announced on his twitter account four hours ago:

I've seen his last fight and he just brutalized his opponent.
If I were to place a wager on his fight I would say KO in the early rounds.
But hey, that is just me.

We're so excited to partner with Stylebender! Personally a huge fan of his and we're pumped to see what sort of cool experiences we can offer the players!

Be sure to keep notifications on for this thread as there will be giveaways and other prizes to win in part to the debut of stake and the partnership with Isreal Adesenya The style bender!

He is a pretty good brand ambassador because he is loved by many in social media platforms, especially anime fans because he did admit multiple times that he is a fan of anime too, it is also evident with his moniker too, The Last Stylebender which is taken from the Nickelodeon animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender for those who does not watch. Good thing that Stake.com has got Israel as an ambassador because he is a young gun fighter in the UFC scene which means that publicity that they can get from him is as fresh as it can get, you know how mainstream media flock towards the freshest story.

Well done to Stake, and well done to Israel, now maybe crypto can make an even bigger name in Nigeria (which I know is coming up as a crypto country soon).

More and more crypto sportsbooks making waves in real life sports. This is good for us:)

on the pic , i was looking at his shorts if theres a stake logo printed but i havent found any too bad but i hope that i can see it soon ? im excited for this more than the match because this is like an exposure to the crypto gambling  .

i already recognize that the stylebender sounds like the element bender on the cartoon aang the last airbender but i didnt knew that he is an anime or cartoon lover because its not noticeable on his looks , he looks tough .

There are various videos talking about him about being an anime fan in Youtube, there is also that face off with Silva where he strike a pose from a certain famous character in certain Anime, there even is an interview about the reason for striking that pose with the face off with Silva. If you also watch some of his fights, there were a part where before the start of a fight, he does a hand gesture similar to those of ninjas, he even has a tattoo combination of his favorite anime and cartoon.

For sure Stunna was the one that organizes this partnership and this isn't just a huge step of Stake to be known as a crypto casino or sportsbook but also the currency/payment Stake is accepting which is Bitcoin. From what we can see on the YT video it was the "first UFC Bitcoin sponsorship" and that's pretty in its sense. Congratulations Stake.com.

Seen this announcement on his instagram, but forgot to post it here 

Here is the ad link https://www.instagram.com/p/CKQLDtKHPo6/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet.

I wonder how he is going to promote stake.com. Maybe add a patch to his shorts (which is doubtful, as his shorts most probably will only have a Reebok logo only, even though he sign a sponsorship deal with Puma) or a banner behind his corner.

Anyway, March 6 will come quick and it is nice to see his first fight in next weight class, already with new sponsor.

Congratulations to Israel and stake.com.
It seems that we're already seeing crypto casinos having ambassadors which are beneficial not only for the brand but also to the community. I was browsing on the tweet of stake and replies are fun to read.

Israel Adesanya:  "I got malaria 8 times."

UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya says he's had malaria eight times in his life

Adesanya said he contracted the virus multiple times growing up in Nigeria

https://www.cbssports.com/mma/news/ufc-middleweight-champion-israel-adesanya-says-hes-had-malaria-eight-times-in-his-life/

....


There are many MMA fighters and boxers who say they grew up in poor neighborhoods. Most were never infected by malaria, even once.

Adesanya is the best choice for this, being one of the few who can relate to and connect with those living in real poverty.

Manny Pacquiao is another. His family was so poor, they ate Manny Pacquiao's pet dog when they had nothing to eat.

I think on some level people respect those who come from nothing and earn everything they have. They're more relatable.

Did not realize all his moves and dancing around the ring were anime inspired.
As I am not to familiar with any from these types of genre.
But it does make his fights that much more interesting to watch other than the stare down you usually get from fighters in the UFC.
Here is a quick video of one of these ninja moves from either naruto or the last airbender (don't know which one it is from).

Post your favorite dance moves or hand gestures he has done before and after his fights. Because he has not lost yet so he is in the mood for dancing!

OK rdbase you really know how to attract me to the UFC market with pictures, a sport I know absolutely nothing about 

Is Stake running any kind of promotion going at their sportsbook in their boxing events to commemorate this? My bankroll there could really use a free bet or odds boost, I don't know what else to do with it

[notblox1]

Big marketing move for Stake.com and I am wondering how come I see this news only today as I am fairly active and following all UFC MMA news.
Whats next? Maybe Israel Adesanya talking about Bitcoin and crypto.

Also missed out this news too but this is indeed a big marketing move that had been made by Stake. Well done stake management!

Choosing Israel as Global branded ambassador isn't really a bad choice though. About on your question on whats next? It would pertain be connecting to the business.
talking about bitcoin and crypto would really be just sitting on next priority or possible topics.

[robelneo]

If you are plying in Stake.com I'm sure you will receive this announcement, they have a good choice of ambassador, Adesanya is always the talked of the town after beating Costa and challenging Jon Jones, well the best deserves only the best and Stake.com just got the best ambassador.

[maydna]

Congratulations for Stake.com announces their Global branded ambassador, Israel Adesanya. It could attract a UFC fan to see their idols become a partner with Stake, which can be a promotion to Stake.com. It can help promote crypto in the UFC fan, as there will be a banner that will show the Stake name or BTC logo in some place of the tournaments.

It will be better if Adesanya can learn bitcoin, so when his fan asks about bitcoin, he can answer with the right. That will make his fan curious and will search for more details about bitcoin.

Well maybe they can not tie it in with this partnership who knows.
It might cost some major money to have the logo as the EPL has the very same logo on both the Soutons and Watfrd. And those are big name teams spending big time money.
So who really knows how much stake has put aside for such trademark acquisitions.
Will let the Stunna or MICRO respond to such inquires.

Congratulations to Stake.com and to the new sports brand ambassador Israel Adesanya. I am a huge fan here, he's stepping up to 205 lbs, great! I am always checking his timeline on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/stylebender and confirmed, he posts about his ambassadorship @stake.com

Good choice for stake.com

[iamsheikhadil]

This is so cool  I always wondered how can a casino like stake that's growing so rapidly with every possible crypto games and sports betting out there not have someone popular representing them?! Since I heard sportsbet having Bret Lee as their ambassador, I was sure stake would soon get one ambassador, and now we have! Congratulations to stake, with Adesanya, hope stake grows and becomes more popular!

He might know how to use and might be owning bitcoin already, I reckon. Adesanya is also a nerd similar to many of us in the forum hehe. He likes to collect comic books and loves the anime Naruto.

[Saisher]

That's a big leap for Stake.com, Adesanya is already a big name in the sports industry I wonder how much is the deal to represents Stake.com, both of them had a good choice in getting each other one of the top gambling site here and one of the best mixed martial artist in the sporting industry, the last style bender truly represents the Stake.com.
