The Lethwei World Champion, Dave Leduc, leads the promotion.

The MFC President reflected his thoughts on the whole idea and said, “We are creating an ecosystem for Combat sports using our native token. Crypto is not going anywhere and we want to make sure combat athletes are ahead of the wave when it comes to innovation and technology. I don’t think the day is very far where athletes will be paid via cryptocurrencies. We just saw that Starbucks has recently stopped accepting cash in their stores.”

Fighters competing in Marshall’s promotion

MFC announced signing Canadian fighter, Dan Lariviere. He has remained undefeated under the Lethwei rules. Along with him, the promotion has signed American MMA prospect, Cole Ferrell. He has an impressive record of 10-1

The world champion also signed two Lethwei prospects, one of which is the Slovakian fighter, Michal Kosik. 

Speaking on the fight between Kosik and Lariviere, the president said, “Kosik from Slovakia and Lariviere from Canada are the most active and dominant Lethwei fighters at their weight right now.”

“Kosik is a quick and relentless fighter and Lariviere is a crafty and aggressive athlete. Both men will give the fans watching the event around the world a memorable show. I expect this fight to be the Fight of the night.”

Marshall Fighting Championship along with Dave Leduc is pressing forward to change the future of combat sports. They pump fans all over for the exciting time that lies ahead of them.
