Some fighters will receive bonuses in ‘stablecoins’ issued by Trump family business World Liberty Financial

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) announced on Friday that it will pay bonuses to fighters in a form of cryptocurrency issued by Trump family business World Liberty Financial at the heavily publicized White House mixed martial arts event on Sunday.

The development connects the Trump family’s financial interests to the high-profile UFC competition being promoted on government property. The competition on the south White House lawn is scheduled for 14 June, Donald Trump’s birthday.

The UFC said some fighters will receive bonuses in World Liberty Financial crypto called “stablecoins”, whose value is pegged to the US dollar. World Liberty named the currency “USD1”.

"Well, I had to uninvite all the weak and pathetic UFC fighters, just like I did for all those no-talent musical acts. What can I say, folks, everyone's a loser but ME. So to celebrate America's two hundred and fiftieth birthday, let's all just listen to me talk for two hours. Gotta give the people what they want, I always say."
