UFC 268 Packs drop ahead of Usman vs Covington 2 fight
As promised earlier, UFC and Crypto.com just released the UFC 268 Pack NFTs, which includes posters and belt designs based on November 6’s fight at the Madison Square Garden, UFC 268: Usman vs Covington 2. According to the announcement, UFC fans will only have limited chances to get their hands on one of the 2,999 qualifying packs that vary in rarity and content. At $40 each, the qualifying packs are a bargain, especially if you can buy within the allotted time frame. Those who can do so will get a chance to join the special UFC 268 collection sweepstakes and get a chance to win an exclusive UFC belt, a one-year subscription to UFC Fight Pass, as well as a $50 gift card. UFC’s senior vice president of Global Consumer Products, Tracey Bleczinki, explains that she believes that the UFC brand can use NFTs to connect with audiences. Speaking of the UFC, the upcoming UFC 268 blockbuster pay-per-view on Saturday will be a must-watch championship doubleheader. Headlining the event is the matchup between current Welterweight champion Kamaru Usman who will look to defend his title for the second time against his fierce rival and No. 1-ranked contender, Colby Covington. Meanwhile, the other main event will see UFC woman’s Strawweight champion, Rose Najamunas, attempt to take out Zhang Weili for the second straight time as the former champion and No. 1-seeded contender looks to avenger her earlier loss.
