"What is the Litecoin community? I just wanted to thank you for the sponsorship of UFC 235. I am particularly honored to represent you guys because you are a cause and something I believe in. Of course, I really care about Litecoin on my own. when I do not get just a sponsorship, but when I find one in which I believe and think I can help to create a better future, and I think all of you guys see that vision too " He said. In his tweet, he labeled the creator of Litecoin Charlie Lee and John Kim an ambassador of the Litecoin community.
