URGENT UPDATE: The highly anticipated Telegram Gift Drop featuring UFC superstars is set to take place this Sunday, July 15, 2023, with notable fighters such as Jon Jones and Alex Pereira confirmed to participate. Big-time streamer N3on made the announcement, promising fans an exclusive experience alongside a lineup of other prominent combat athletes.
N3on expressed excitement about the collaboration, stating, “A bunch of fighters are going to be a part of [the drop]. I’ve streamed with a bunch of people, but these are real stars coming in.” The event is already generating buzz as fans prepare for the chance to snag unique UFC-themed digital merchandise.
The stream will also feature other MMA legends, including Israel Adesanya, Charles Oliveira, Merab Dvalishvili, Alexandre Pantoja, Ilia Topuria, Alexander Volkanovski, and Sean O’Malley. While both Merab and Pantoja are scheduled to fight on the same night, fans are eager to see if they will join the virtual event. N3on aims to have all appearances in person, enhancing the excitement around the drop.
This event marks the second auction hosted by Telegram for MMA-related merchandise. Last month, an astounding $4.5 million was raised through the sale of 29,000 Khabib Nurmagomedov “Papakha” hats, showcasing the platform’s potential to engage MMA fans.
N3on, who is a dedicated MMA enthusiast, recently trained with former rival, now friend, Nate Diaz. He shared his experience, saying, “Dude’s a legend. I was a little nervous going in… It was a really loving and cool environment.” This connection underscores N3on’s commitment to the MMA community and his passion for the sport.
While N3on has previously considered stepping into the ring himself, he acknowledged his limits. “Even Nate said it… I said, ‘Can I be a boxer?’ He said, ‘Bro, you don’t have it in you,'” N3on recounted. He has decided to focus on streaming with the professionals instead.
Fans can expect the Telegram Gift Drop to unfold from a currently undisclosed location, heightening anticipation ahead of the event. This collaboration between N3on and UFC stars is poised to captivate MMA enthusiasts and digital collectors alike.
Stay tuned for more updates as the event approaches, and don’t miss your chance to join the action this Sunday!
