Cardano Founder vs Crypto Youtuber — First MMA Fight Between Two Crypto Characters

December 10, 2019, by Marko Vidrih on ALTCOIN MAGAZINE

One of the popular crypto-YouTubers in the English-speaking world, Tyler Swope, aka Chico Crypto, is expected to rise in August 2020 against Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, for an MMA fight.

Although Chico Crypto clearly states in several of his videos that he is not a fan of Hoskinson’s, the fight is not purely hate-motivated. The two climb into the ring for a good cause. The proceeds are to be shared with the St. Judes Children’s Hospital.

It would be the first MMA fight between two crypto characters. While some see enrichment for the entire crypto room, as the fight is a good advertisement, others hope that the whole action will soon be forgotten.

Above all, the reputation of the Cardano project is feared. On reddit for example, a desperate Cardano fan tries to stop the fight with a petition (you have the option of down or upvoting depending on whether you want to see the spectacle or not).

Soon you could see on Twitter suggestions for further fighting between crypto-rivals. That the whole now becomes a trend, however, may be doubted.

What is MMA?

MMA stands for Mixed Martial Arts. It is a full-contact combat variant with as few rules as possible. By kicking, hitting, throwing, clinching and the ground fight the opponent is to be brought to the task. The defeat is made by tapping (loser gives signs of giving up by knocking on the floor), knocked out or knocked out by the referee.

Hoskinson and Swope have 9 months to prepare for the fight. The weight funds of the two must first be determined. Whether we really will see a fight the future will show. The whole thing sounds too exaggerated to be true.
