❗️Why It Matters
Kanpai Pandas has certainly committed to its core demographic, further leaning into sports and entertainment, with a particular focus on fighting sports like MMA. The project has already partnered with Jon Jones to push its IP deeper into non-web3 participants that identify with the Pandas core values and the FRM partnership will only provide more opportunities to do so. Ice Bagz (the project leader) has already insisted that Pandas are thinking much bigger than the walls of web3, this partnership speaks to that thinking.
