In addition to exploring the metaverse, the company has recently announced a partnership with NFT firm Dapper Labs for the launch of its ‘UFC Strike’ NFT collectibles platform. The platform starts with 100,000 ‘fully loaded’ packs featuring video and audio from previous UFC matches with affordable pricing and ownership. There will also be three NFT Moments capturing incredible finishes and amazing displays of striking and grappling. Speaking on the collaboration, UFC Senior Vice President of Global Consumer Products Tracey Bleczinski said: “Dapper Labs is an innovator in this field, creating an industry that didn’t exist a few years ago. Their vision for the potential of these products is the reason UFC chose Dapper Labs as its first NFT partner.”
