Rory MacDonald Wants His Massive Bellator Fight Purse Paid In Bit Coin

[GSPTrainingInAPool]

Former UFC welterweight title challenger Rory MacDonald made the move to competing mixed martial arts promotion Bellator MMA earlier this year. Facing off against Paul Daley, “Red King” put on a dominant performance over his opponent in his Bellator debut. Now, MacDonald is set to fight for the Bellator welterweight title as he takes on reigning champion Douglas Lima. That in mind, it would appear that the fighter is now considering something different for payment in his upcoming Bellator match ups.

Speaking on The MMA Hour, MacDonald revealed that he is considering being paid in the worldwide cryptocurrency Bitcoin for his Bellator performances moving forward. The last disclosed total MacDonald earned in a fight totaled $500, 000. At its current value, the total would exchange to 52.08 Bitcoins.


However the “Red King” gets paid, the fighter is set to go toe-to-toe with Douglas Lima at Bellator 192. The event goes down Jan. 20, 2018 in Inglewood, Calif.

On the mma hour Ariel asked if he'd like to be paid in bitcoin and he said sure. This is straight up clickbait by mmaimports for traffic.

Clearly Ariel has been buying bitcoin and wants to pump it up to increase it's value. That's such an odd question to ask lol

It's been something that he and Rory have talked about for years. I can't remember how it first came up, but Ariel basically asks Rory about bit coin every time that he interviews him now.

I wss thinking about bitcoin yestersay. I have a decent understanding of finance. Wrote The CFA. But have no idea what bitcoin is

Tried reading shit before and it was either above my head or poorly explained. Can anyone do a 5-sentence-or-less "bitcoin for dummies" focusing primarily on where the bloc chain or whatever the fuck obtained value in the first place?

Didn't WSOF pay people with Bit Coin a few years ago. Seems like Jon Fitch got some BC.
