March 24, 2022 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire --
B2Digital Incorporated (the “Company” or “B2Digital”)
(OTCMKTS:BTDG),
the premier development league for mixed martial arts (“MMA”), is
excited to announce that the B2 Fighting Series (“B2FS”) is heading
into Decentraland for its first-ever live MMA event hosted in the
metaverse.
What: B2 Fighting Series 153, Amateur and Professional
LIVE MMA
Where (IRL): Dothan City Civic Center in
Dothan, Alabama
Where (Virtual): The Aquarium Casino, Vegas
City District, Decentraland (-140, 127)
When: Saturday, March 26. Doors open at 6pm
ET. PPV Broadcast starts at 7pm ET.
Physical seats have nearly sold out for live
attendance in Dothan, but tickets can still be purchased at the
door. Interested fans will also be able to stream it live on
Pay-Per-View here, or enjoy it live over the B2 Fighting Series
apps on Amazon Fire TV or Apple TV. Virtual attendance is unlimited
at The Aquarium Casino (theaquariumcasino.com).
In
addition, because the event is taking place at a casino in the
metaverse, fans attending virtually will be able to engage in live
“free play” casino gaming activities.
B2
matchmaker Brandon ‘Hardrock’ Higdon stated, “The B2FS 153 fight
card presents a number of fascinating matchups that should set the
stage for explosive action on Saturday night for live, PPV, and
metaverse crowds alike. The Main Event will feature PFL veteran
fighter Nathan “Nasty” Williams in search of his 14th
pro win as he squares off against Bellator warrior Chuka “The Lion
King” Willis, who is looking for pro victory number
11.”
“Fans should also watch out for undefeated David
Clark in a tough matchup against Olympian Trevor Jacob, and Tim
Hester making his long-awaited pro debut versus an always game Rae
Thomas,” continued Higdon. “We will also see several intriguing
amateur matchups, including the B2FS Flyweight title bout between
current champ Sam Thompson (4-2-0) and #1 contender Stephen “Big
Dreamin” Owens (8-1-0). From top to bottom, this card is
stacked.”
B2FS 153 is being hosted and promoted in the
metaverse in partnership with Metaskins Studios (“Metaskins”). In
addition to driving access to a massive untapped audience of
digitally native fans through its Decentraland networks and
metaverse-centered promotional strategies, Metaskins has also
created a line of custom digital accessories associated with the B2
Fighting Series brand (“NFT Wearables”) to help promote the brand
in the metaverse and generate new scalable revenue
streams.
The
first B2 NFT wearable – to be introduced this Saturday – will be a
digital “B2 Fighter” avatar body design available for both male and
female avatars. The highly differentiated B2 Fighter avatar body
will carry the B2 logo on the front and Aquarium Casino branding on
the back to advertise the partnership between B2 Digital and The
Aquarium Casino.
The
B2 Fighter full-body wearable NFT will be sold for 6 MANA
(approximately USD $15) and will be available at multiple
locations, including inside The Aquarium Casino, at the official
Metaskins store (38, -2), and at the Decentraland
marketplace.
“We
have a spectacular fight card lined up to kick off our metaverse
strategy, with live virtual event coverage, NFT collectibles, and
live gambling,” noted Greg P. Bell, CEO and Founder of B2 Digital.
“The fighters know what’s at stake. This is a bigger stage, and a
riveting highlight moment will carry the potential to be
immortalized as a viral NFT clip that could also mean a quicker
route to UFC attention. In concert with Metaskins promotional work
and facilitation, we look forward to a fireworks show on Saturday
that will stretch all the way from Dothan to Vegas
City.”
