Furthermore, VeChain will own UFC’s official fighter rankings title “UFC Rankings Powered by VeChain,” brand presence inside UFC‘s Octagon match ring and on UFC Fight Deck, and create VIP sweepstakes promotions.

The VeChain-branded assets will debut on June 11 during the UFC 275: TEIXEIRA vs PROCHAZKA event in Singapore.
