VechainGlobal leader in real public applications of Blockchain, he proudly greets UFC CEO and Power Slap Founder Dana White as the latest official advisor. Dana joins the Nobel Prize, Sir Konstantin Novoselov, in the Vechain Advisory Council to create a team focused on conducting blockchain adoption in the real world through complementary knowledge in the field of mass marketing and scientific innovation.

Dana White, a visionary of the UFC meteoric growth into the global sporting power reaching over 950 million households, introduces unparalleled specialist knowledge in the field of brand expansion, fans’ involvement and disturbing Wechin innovation. Known for his relentless drive and senseless approach, White will play a key role in strengthening the flagship initiative of Vechain sustainable development, Vebetterda-Zdecentralized Modern Generation platform, which encourages real balanced actions through B3Tr tokens.

White’s meeting signals a transformation change in blockchain. Using its impact on UFC, Power Slap and Global Sports Communities, he will introduce Vechain technologies to the extensive and engaged audience, filling the gap between the utility of blockchain and the mainstream of consciousness.

“Vechain is an amazing partner for UFC and Power Slap and I have the honor to join their advisory council,” said Dana White, president and general director of the UFC. “I am passionate about technology, and their products and innovations I can’t wait to assist raise their brand to a higher level.”

Sir Konstantin Novoselov, whose breakthrough work on graphene brought him a Nobel Prize in physics, still directs Vechain’s scientific and technical progress. Pioneer from 2D materials, graphene research and capture of carbon, Novoselov played a key role in ensuring that the initiatives of sustainable development of Vechain are supported by strict scientific principles.

Thanks to the scientific splendor of Novoselov leading the development of Vechainthor and the ability to White to support mass adoption, Vechain gathered an advisory team that is extremely set to solve the most essential challenges of blockchain: technical sophistication and availability of the mainstream.

White’s arrival coincides with the implementation of two breakthrough initiatives: Vechain:

  • Vebetterda-Currently on Mainnet, with over 200 user-oriented DAPPs, this decentralized platform transforms sustainable activities into quantified value through B3TR tokens, thus creating the first scalable, tokenized sustainable development ecosystem.
  • Vechain Renaissance – renovation of the 2025 protocol designed to raise network security, decentralization and EVM compatibility, Vechain positioning for a wider enterprise and ecosystem growth.

Sunlit Lu, CEO and co-founder of Vechain, emphasized the importance of this advisory team: “Dana popularized combat sports, focusing on what the fans really want-understand that Vebetterdao is not about theories, it’s about winning through real activities. With the scientific genius of Konstantin and given, we gathered a band, we have gathered a band: Technologically a great measure.

The influence of White goes beyond advisory support through strategic activation – from the UFC’s involvement prizes to UFC events to challenges related to the impact powered by B3TR and veterinarian tokens. These real implementation will show the usefulness of blockchain to millions of consumers who could never have interacted with digital assets before.

Thanks to the nonsense, White and Novoselov Ragor Vechain maintains his position as a leading balanced corporate class blockchain, which revolutionizes adoption through various niches and channels.

Jon Jones’ reaction says it all after Gable Steveson’s 12-second KO loss
Jon
Jones had a clear view of one of the biggest upsets in
Ultimate Fighting Championship history.

His protégé, Gable
Steveson, suffered the first loss of his professional mixed
martial arts career at UFC
331, with Sean Sharaf
recording a 12-second knockout at Crypto.com Arena in Los
Angeles.

Sean Sharaf hands Gable Steveson his first MMA loss in stunning
UFC 331 upset

Heavy betting favorite Steveson entered the matchup unbeaten at
4-0, while Sharaf was 0-2 in the UFC. The latter uncorked a left
hook early in the fight, putting the former to sleep. Steveson's
mentor, Jones, watched on and his reaction to the knockout is
circulating online.

The former two-division UFC champion seemingly said, “Oh, my God!â€
while looking at his fellow cornermen.

Steveson dismissed Sharaf as a threat in the lead-up to the fight,
relegating him to just a stepping stone towards his championship
aspirations. “The Smoke†even provoked the polarizing Olympian at
the pre-fight presser, bringing up past controversies that have
turned many against him.

Tom Aspinall issues statement on rumored UFC departure after coach's recent claims

Tonight's UFC 331 event was headlined by a highly anticipated men's flyweight title fight rematch between Joshua Van and Alexandre Pantoja.

Van and Pantoja had originally collided back at UFC 323 in December of last year, where ‘The Fearless' walked away with the promotion's coveted men's flyweight title after ‘The Cannibal' suffered a nasty arm injury the rendered him unable to continue (see that here).

Joshua Van (17-2 MMA) had since successfully defended the 125lbs strap on one occasion, earning a fifth-round TKO victory over Japanese standout Tatsuro Taira. The 24-year-old had entered tonight's rematch sporting a seven-fight winning streak.

Meanwhile, Alexandre Pantoja (30-6 MMA) was returning to the Octagon for the first time since suffering that aforementioned arm injury against Van at UFC 323. Prior to that setback, ‘The Cannibal' had strung together a seven-fight winning streak, an impressive stretch which included four successful title defenses over opponents Brandon Royval, Steve Erceg, Kai Asakura and Kai Kara-France.

Tonight's UFC 331 main event proved to be an absolute thriller. Alexandre Pantoja came out guns blazing, but Joshua Van was able to weather the early onslaught and get his boxing going shortly thereafter. While Pantoja was able to get the fight to the floor in dominant positions on multiple occasions, he was never able to get off any really solid offense from those spots. The fight seemed to be razor close heading into the fifth and final round, but it was in those last five minutes that Van cemented his status as champion. He was able to drop the Brazilian with a right hand and pretty much controlled the entire fifth round.
