Cryptocurrency Dash paid Rory MacDonald more than entire Reebok payout for UFC Austin

When it comes to cryptocurrency, Dash is one of the rising alternative coins on the market.

Touted for its instant transaction times, anonymity and decentralized model, Dash, previously known as Dark Coin, has made its foray into the world of mixed martial arts.

Cryptocurrency enthusiasts may have noticed that former UFC welterweight title challenger Rory MacDonald, now the Bellator welterweight champion, was represented by Dash in his championship bout with Douglas Lima at Bellator 192.

MMA Fighting’s Alexander K. Lee recently spoke with Dash’s head of network operations, Jeff Smith, who reached out to MacDonald and offered him a unique sponsorship deal for Bellator 192.
