EDMONTON – Unified MMA is once again on the cutting edge of the modern combat sports world, announcing an exciting new aspect of their agreement with Bitcoin Well.

Starting at Unified 43 on March 4 at River Cree Resort & Casino in Enoch, AB, Bitcoin Well will allow Unified MMA fighters to be paid their fight purses partially, or in full, in Bitcoin.

Bitcoin Well offers convenient and secure online and in-person solutions to help you buy and sell Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. They want to help consumers discover the benefits of using cryptocurrencies by making it easier to buy, sell and use them the same way cash is used.

Unified MMA President Sunny Sareen: “We’re always excited to innovate at Unified MMA, and our agreement with Bitcoin Well will give our athletes more options to engage in, and learn about, Bitcoin in a meaningful way. Cryptocurrency isn’t going anywhere, so we’re very excited to give our athletes an opportunity to get involved ahead of the curve.”

Bitcoin Well Founder and CEO Adam O’Brien: “Unified MMA offering their fighters the option to be paid in bitcoin is absolutely game-changing. Giving athletes the ability to put a portion of their winnings into bitcoin directly, with absolutely no hassle to them, is a perk that is building momentum in the professional sports industry.
