mixed martial arts (mma) technical

Mixed martial arts (MMA) is a full-contact combat sport that combines techniques from boxing, wrestling, jiu-jitsu, karate and other fighting styles, where competitors use striking and grappling to try to win a match. Investors care because MMA is a media and event business: its popularity drives ticket sales, broadcast and streaming rights, sponsorships and merchandise—similar to how a concert tour or sports league turns audience interest into recurring revenue and brand value.

A connected TV is a television that can access the internet and run online apps, streaming services, and digital content directly on the screen, much like a giant tablet or computer. For investors, it matters because it represents a shift in how people consume media, opening new opportunities for advertising, content creation, and revenue growth in the entertainment industry.
