There is a trend in the world to invite former famous old athletes from another sports there and you can earn millions from fight - if, of course, someone has a famous face and name.

by the way, earlier Today Simone Piroddu won the bronze medal in the men's freestyle -61kg class, so we don't come home completely empty handed also this year

MMA (UFC at least) is a bit more serious...there are no fights between influencers and former stars of the game, at least for now...we'll see what happens when Netflix would eventually take control of the action
