MMA Mixed Martial Arts Group Limited

Mixed Martial Arts Group Limited (NYSE American: MMA) (“MMA” or the “Company”), a leading technology company building the commercial and cultural epicenter for the mixed martial arts and combat sports industry, today issued a letter to shareholders from its Founder and CEO, Nick Langton:

Dear Mixed Martial Arts Group Shareholders & Stakeholders,

As 2024 Draws to a Close, A Year of Transformation for MMA

As we approach the end of 2024, I am proud to reflect on what has been the most transformative year in MMA’s history. We’ve achieved extraordinary milestones and established strong momentum for a ground-breaking 2025. I am excited to share the tremendous progress we’ve made in our mission to unify and empower the mixed martial arts and combat sports industry.

The sector in which we are building our company is truly thriving. The UFC now boasts over 700 million fans worldwide, and the number of combat sports gyms in the U.S. is expected to exceed 68,000 next year. With millions of participants and an industry valued at over $18 billion annually in the U.S. alone, the potential for growth is undeniable.

Addressing the Industry’s Fragmentation

For decades, the mixed martial arts and combat sports industry has remained fragmented, lacking the infrastructure and cohesion seen in more established sports ecosystems. MMA was founded to solve this. By creating a comprehensive platform that unites participants, fans, gyms and practitioners, we are creating the foundations for all sector stakeholders to enjoy sustainable growth and innovation within this high growth industry. Just as the assembly line revolutionized manufacturing, MMA’s mission is to unite and transform the global combat sports community for the benefit of all its participants, with ground-breaking tools and resources.

The last 10 years of the sport’s growth has been characterized by the pre-eminence of the UFC and the battle for media rights contracts and viewership as the sport has become increasingly mainstream. We believe the next 10 years will see a significant increase in fan engagement, community development and ultimately participation, where MMA is well positioned to take advantage of the tailwinds created by the professional leagues as they continue to grow global audiences. We believe our position as currently the only listed company that has pure play exposure to the growth in martial arts participation, has us particularly well placed to capitalize on these trends.

Leveraging Our Legacy and Positioning for Growth

Our journey is built on a decade of success through our Warrior Training Program, which has given thousands of people the opportunity to become combat athletes. This legacy has equipped us with strong and enduring gym partnerships, unparalleled sector expertise, and a deep understanding of how to engage the fan consumer in a training journey. These assets ensure we are well positioned to capitalize on the explosive growth of the sector via our new B2B tools and B2C products and programs.

Driving Our Mission Forward

At the core of our business remains our unwavering mission: to enrich lives by enabling everyone to experience the community and transformative power of martial arts.

As we look ahead, we are confident that MMA is uniquely poised to not only lead the evolution of the mixed martial arts and combat sports industry but also deliver significant value to our investors, partners, and stakeholders.

These tools are expected to roll out during the first half of 2025 including the launch of our community app on iOS and Android.

3. Deepening Customer Engagement

Building on our partnerships with UFC Gym and our leading athlete identities and global ambassadors, we plan to launch new community driven initiatives to inspire participation and accelerate user base growth. These initiatives will include exclusive seminars, live events, competitions and unique digital content campaigns.

MMA will continue to build relationships across the combat sports ecosystem, fostering collaborations that unlock new revenue streams for gyms, coaches and practitioners while driving greater participation and engagement among MMA’s 700 million fans.
