Three well-known MMA fighters — headlined by UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson — are taking their competitiveness from the cage to the controller.
Johnson, Angela Hill and Jens Pulver will all be competing in esports for a chance at the $200,000 prize pool at Daybreak Games’ H1Z1 Invitational later this month at TwitchCon, officials told MMA Fighting.
The trio of fighters will be in the All-Stars portion of the tournament, which features “some of the most electrifying streamers, content creators, MMA fighters, and personalities from around the globe.”
Johnson is coming off an historic victory last weekend at UFC 216 in Las Vegas.
