Streaming platform N3on is set to host an exclusive Gift Drop event on Telegram this weekend, featuring renowned UFC fighters including Jon Jones and Alex Pereira. This collaboration aims to connect fans with their favorite fighters while offering unique UFC-themed digital merchandise.
The Gift Drop promises to spotlight a star-studded lineup of fighters. In addition to Jones and Pereira, fans can expect appearances from Israel Adesanya, Charles Oliveira, Merab Dvalishvili, Alexandre Pantoja, Ilia Topuria, Alexander Volkanovski, and Sean O’Malley. N3on confirmed the participation of these fighters, 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.”
This exciting streaming event is scheduled for Sunday, March 17, 2024, though the exact time and location remain undisclosed. Fans can look forward to engaging with their favorite fighters virtually, with opportunities to collect exclusive digital items related to the UFC.
While Dvalishvili and Pantoja are scheduled to compete in UFC 323 on the same day, N3on expressed his desire to have as many fighters present in person as possible. “I’m trying to get everything in person,” he remarked, emphasizing the collaborative spirit of the event.
This is not the first time Telegram has ventured into the world of mixed martial arts. Last month, the platform successfully auctioned off 29,000 Khabib Nurmagomedov “Papakha” hats, which generated approximately $4.5 million. Given N3on’s passion for MMA, the partnership appears to be a natural fit.
N3on has also recently trained with former UFC fighter Nate Diaz, sharing insights about the challenges and camaraderie within the sport. “Dude’s a legend. I was a little nervous going in because I didn’t know if these people were still mad at me,” he noted about his experience. “It was a really loving and cool environment.”
When asked if he had ever considered stepping into the ring himself, N3on candidly reflected on his aspirations. “There was a point in my life where I was like, ‘Yeah, bro, I wanna do this.’ But I just don’t think it’s in me,” he said, acknowledging Diaz’s perspective on his capabilities. “I’m just going to stay on the sidelines. I’m going to stream with the people who are good at it.”
As anticipation builds for this innovative event, fans can prepare for an engaging experience with some of the biggest names in the UFC. The N3on Telegram Gift Drop is set to provide a unique platform for interaction and excitement within the MMA community.
