Charles Hoskinson, CEO of IOHK has agreed to fight a crypto Youtuber named Chico Crypto as a marketing stunt to promote the Cardano blockchain. The fight will be an MMA style bout with proceeds going to charity. Those of us in the Cardano community ask Charles Hoskinson to NOT use the Cardano brand name or officially associate the Cardano platform with the scheduled MMA fight. 

We have no right to dictate what Charles does with his personal life, but we strongly petition him to distance the Cardano brand from his personal endeavors. If you’re part of the Cardano community and think the marketing of this platform should be held to a higher standard, please sign this petition. Thank you.

Some in the community feel Charles face is permanently associated with the Cardano brand. We also ask that Charles wear a luchador costume and changes his name to El Capitan Carlos Hoskintez.
