The announcement says that UFC fans can acquire the NFTs “while supplies last.”

Tracey Bleczinski, the UFC’s senior vice president of Global Consumer Products, believes NFTs are a great way for fans to connect with the UFC brand. “NFTs are an exciting expansion of UFC’s strong collectible marketplace and an innovative and authentic way for our passionate fans to stay connected to the UFC brand,” Bleczinski said in a statement sent to Bitcoin.com News.
