The introduction of NFTs allows fighters to be scarcely represented while involving their biggest fans.

Specifically, FOMO Labs will offer a no loss lottery NFT experience. Everyone who buys a ticket will receive an NFT. This lottery ticket will enter users in a draw to win a plethora of NFTs – everyone will win something. For 100 lucky winners there will be fungible (real-world) prizes on top of their BKFC NFTs. 

Eight winners will win an all expense paid, walkout experience. This includes a flight to Miami, a suite, backstage access and of course the privilege to participate in the walk-out ceremony with a fighter of choice. All other participants will also win NFTs to represent participation in the lottery.
