An Integrated Community and Commerce Platform Bringing 640 Million Global Fans, Fighters, Coaches and Gym Owners Together on One Powerful Mobile App. New York, NY, Feb. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MMA.inc (NYSE American: MMA), a leader in martial arts technology, announced today it is set to transform the global martial arts industry with the launch of the first ever fully integrated community and commerce platform, unifying fans, fighters, coaches, gym owners, and brands into a single, monetized ecosystem. Currently in closed beta and accessed via one mobile first multi-device application, MMA.inc’s new social and commerce platform will officially launch in second calendar quarter and is poised to redefine the way the martial arts community connects, engages and monetizes participation. With an estimated 640 million MMA fans worldwide, 11.8 million US participants and over $18 billion in annual industry revenue in the US alone, the participation landscape for martial arts remains digitally fragmented. MMA.inc bridges this gap by aggregating the entire martial arts economy into one seamless platform—much like Reddit modernized online forums and Toast revolutionized the hospitality industry. MMA.inc founder and CEO Nick Langton commented “Martial arts and combat sports is a vast and very fast growing global market, with fanbase growth driven by the incredible success of the UFC and other professional leagues. This has in turn led to huge interest in learning and training MMA, Jiu Jitsu and other combat sports, but the industry is also highly fragmented, making it difficult for fans, participants, fighters and gym owners to connect and engage in a focused and meaningful way. With the launch of our integrated digital platform accessed via a new mobile App, we are uniting this massive global community under one digital roof—modernizing and curating martial arts. We believe this is the most important technology project in our history which we believe will ultimately become the global social and economic hub for martial arts and combat sports. Far more than just a platform, we believe it’s the future of how the sport will grow, engage, transact and thrive.” The Power of a Single Solution MMA.inc’s integrated community and commerce platform is designed and built on a single sign-on user profile, granting access to multiple digital experiences and business tools: Social Community – The ultimate social platform dedicated to the global fight community, enabling fight fans, athletes and practitioners to engage, learn, share content and connect.Fighter & Event Stats – Comprehensive coverage of both professional and grassroots competitions across many disciplinesGym & Class Finder – Research and locate the best gyms and coaches for both in-gym and virtual training and memberships.Gamified Training Tracker – Interactive tools to monitor progress and skill development.Business Tools for Gyms & Coaches – Including membership management, payments, staffing, e-commerce and virtual training monetization.Marketplace & Advertising Integration – Connecting brands with a passionate, high-intent consumer base. It’s the ultimate solution, elevating and curating the digital experience for the entire Martial Arts Industry so all sector participants can grow and thrive. The Culmination of Our Mission to Become the Global Hub for Martial Arts The closed beta release of MMA.inc’s community and commerce platform is the realisation of many years work and design to deliver a platform to unify and aggregate this vast and fast growing sector. This mobile app and its underlying platform delivers MMA.inc a globally scalable product, which upon release will immediately target 640 million fans of MMA to download and join what we believe will be the most important fan community in combat sports. By harnessing the power of forums and community led social platforms, we believe we are now poised to fully unlock the value of this asset and its vast network of millions of MMA fans. Former Strikeforce and Bellator Executive and MMA.inc’s Vice President of North America, Rich Chou, remarked on the historical significance of Mixedmartialarts.com and his excitement for this next evolution for fan communities “We are excited and motivated to recreate the halcyon days of a fan community that shaped the growth of MMA and the UFC from the early 2000’s. This app and platform will once again create a dedicated ecosystem to not only engage fans, fighters and gyms, but to connect them commercially and drive training and participation.” The historic significance of this fan community was best captured by UFC President Dana White, who once said “it was a forum where Joe Rogan, me, all the fighters and many, many other people, all the fans would come to talk about mixed martial arts and martial arts. It was such a cool thing at the time and The Underground was instrumental in finding out what was going on in the sport, it was a fun time and a fun place.” A Game Changing Business Model MMA.inc’s monetization platform is diversified and designed to leverage growth across multiple revenue streams: Subscriptions – Access to premium social community features and business tools.Transaction Fees – Earnings from class bookings, gym memberships, e-commerce sales, and event ticketing.Advertising & Sponsorships – Direct access to a highly engaged combat sports audience.
