If you have never played “fantasy sports” before or even seen a draft for team sports (NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL)…

What separates “Fantasy Sports” and, at that, “Fantasy MMA” from “pick em”, draftkings and other commonly marketed “MMA Games” is that no one is allowed to pick the same winner. If you think Israel Adesanya will beat Jared Cannonier and you “pick Israel”, NO ONE ELSE CAN PICK ISRAEL. This means everyone else will be forced to pick Cannonier or a different fight/fighter.

IN ADDITION, YOU WILL “KEEP” THAT FIGHTER FOR 1 YEAR or whatever length of time is determined. (So someone like Izzy or Volk might fight 3 times and win all 3, which is obviously better than someone that only fights once and wins). Fantasy Sports are completely flexible. You create the rule set and system you want to “play” with based on the real-life outcomes.

Official sites for humanitarian aid to Ukraine

Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, hundreds of military people and civilians have become the victims of the war. Millions had to leave their homes seeking a safer place to live. Over 1.5 million people left the country and found support in Poland, Slovakia, Moldova, and other European countries. Ukrainians are grateful for the help we receive from all around the world, but the humanitarian crisis has already reached some cities and towns in Ukraine. On March 8, a child died of dehydration in Mariupol city.

How to Help Children in Ukraine?

The Red Cross is working to provide food, water, medicines, and other humanitarian aid to Ukraine’s citizens trapped in towns surrounded and blocked by occupying Russian forces. You can support this international charity organization if you donate to Ukraine crisis fund here.

Another way to support children in Ukraine is to provide financial aid via UNICEF. This organization collects funds for first aid kits, medicines, and the support of 7.5 million children living in Ukraine. You can send your donations here.

Charity for Humanitarian Needs

The platform WithUkraine, along with the National Bank of Ukraine, accepts foreign aid to Ukraine’s citizens. The costs collected by these fundraisers will be used to provide humanitarian aid to the victims of war, refugees, and Ukrainian children.
