[upbeat music] World-class MMA action is here, and on Kalshi, you can trade on every fight and not just the main card. Both Pereira and Gane are trading at 50% in their matchup, meaning a $100 trade pays out $200 if they are able to take down their competitor. On Kalshi, you're trading against peers in a live market, meaning there's no house, and as the probability changes, you can buy in and out of your position.
