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 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.
Rapid Growth & Market Readiness
MMA.Inc will launch its new platform with an
established user base with significant social reach:
- 5 million social
media followers
- 530,000 existing
user profiles
- 50,000 active
students
- 18,000 published
gyms
- 802 active locations
across 16 countries
The official launch will focus on these
established customer pools to drive rapid user adoption of exciting
technology from a “warm” base, positioning MMA.inc as a “sleeping
giant’ to be scaled rapidly from early 2025 and beyond. Further to
leveraging these established audiences, MMA.inc will amplify speed
of adoption through our high profile investors and ambassadors
who’s cumulative social media reach is 60 million followers.
As MMA.inc’s mass market product, targeting over
640 million MMA fans, this platform has been designed to become the
“top of funnel” in customer acquisition, which will ultimately
introduce fans, gyms and coaches to our paid subscriptions for
in-gym and online training, fan experiences and business tools.
