Fighter pay and aftercare are one of the hot topics in the UFC. Fighters as well as the MMA community have criticized the UFC for not paying its fighters enough. Sure, the top cream of fighters may be making millions, but the ones in the lower ranks make as less as $45000 a year. Chael Sonnen, however, is here to give people some good news.

This pay is inclusive of all the additional costs that fighters have to pay. Pay as low as this leaves fighters with mere morsels. Tired of pushing the promotion to pay the fighters, fans, and members of the fight community came up with a path of their own. 

Marshal Rogan Inu is a cryptocurrency that was created to help fighters get greater pay in the UFC and other promotions. Despite criticism and doubts from people across the world, UFC legends such as Chael Sonnen guarantee that the ‘MRI’ is here to stay. 

“Haven’t begun. Not kidding. We got this..” Tweeted Sonnen. This seems to be in coherence with Sonnen’s belief that this token will help fighters in the long run.

He has also made videos on the token on his YouTube channel to educate the public on what it is and how it works.
