system of record technical
"BJJLink serves as the system of record for, and administers, all underlying member transactions"
A system of record is the official place where an organization keeps the authoritative copy of its critical information—like ownership, transactions, patient files, or compliance records—used for reporting and legal purposes. Investors care because this single trusted source feeds financial statements and regulatory filings; if it’s inaccurate or missing, the company can face reporting errors, fines, operational disruption, and damage to credibility—much like a business keeping a single master ledger.
annualized payments run rate financial
"an annualized payments run rate of approximately US$21 million based on May 2026 processing volumes"
Annualized payments run rate is an estimate of how much a company or program will pay over a full year, calculated by taking payments observed over a shorter recent period (for example a month or quarter) and scaling them up to twelve months. Investors use it to gauge the ongoing pace of cash outflows or recurring payment obligations—like using a single month's utility bill to predict a household's yearly cost—so they can compare current payment trends across periods or peers.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
multi-year agreement financial
"Under MMA.INC’s existing multi-year agreement with UFC GYM, BJJLink provides the operating technology"
martial arts studio industry financial
"IBISWorld estimated that the United States martial arts studio industry alone comprised approximately 46,600 businesses"

NYSE:MMA - MMA.INC Confirms BJJLink Deployment at UFC GYM Jiu-Jitsu Studio Locations

 

BJJLink supports memberships, billing, payments, scheduling, attendance and student progression for UFC GYM’s new standalone Jiu Jitsu studio format

 

Highlights

 

The first UFC GYM Jiu-Jitsu studio is open in New York with a Florida location opening soon.
BJJLink is the management software platform for UFC GYM’s new jiu-jitsu studio network.
The platform supports memberships, billing and payment workflows, scheduling, attendance, customer management, curriculum and belt progression.
The openings move the partnership from rollout planning into live operations and establish additional recurring software and transaction revenue opportunities for MMA.INC.
The capital light model enables BJJLink to participate in studio growth without MMA.INC owning or operating the physical locations.

 

New York, NY – SEPTEMBER 15, 2026 – Mixed Martial Arts Group Limited (NYSE American: MMA) (“MMA” or the “Company”), a technology platform for the global martial arts and combat sports industry, today announced that its BJJLink platform has been deployed at the first location opened under UFC GYM’s standalone jiu-jitsu studio rollout in New York, with a Florida academy soon to follow.

 

The New York studio, UFC GYM Jiu-Jitsu // Jiu Livre opened on August 8, 2026, at 383 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. UFC GYM has described the location as its first standalone jiu-jitsu studio. A second location is expected to open in January 2027 in Florida.

 

Under MMA.INC’s existing multi-year agreement with UFC GYM, BJJLink provides the operating technology for the new studio format. Its platform brings membership administration, recurring billing, payment orchestration, class scheduling, attendance, customer engagement, curriculum management and belt progression into a single system.

 

Through MMA.INC’s payments ecosystem, BJJLink serves as the system of record for, and administers, all underlying member transactions, integrating with payment providers selected for each region to optimize adoption, reliability and commercial outcomes.

 

“The important point for shareholders is that this partnership is now operating in live studio,” said Nick Langton, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of MMA.INC. “BJJLink is providing the day-to-day technology supporting memberships, billing, payments, scheduling, attendance and student progression.”

 

“This first opening demonstrates how our existing platform can be deployed through established gym and franchise networks. Each additional location has the potential to add recurring software revenue and transaction activity without requiring MMA.INC to own or operate physical gyms.”

 

A Scalable Market Opportunity

 

Brazilian jiu-jitsu forms part of a large and fragmented global martial arts economy comprising independent academies, multi-location operators and branded gym networks.

IBISWorld estimated that the United States martial arts studio industry alone comprised approximately 46,600 businesses and generated approximately US$19.4 billion in annual revenue. Its scale and fragmentation create a substantial addressable market for purpose-built academy software, payment infrastructure and operating tools that help academies manage members, transactions and day-to-day operations.

 

The deployment of BJJLink across the first UFC GYM Jiu-Jitsu studios provides further operating validation for the platform and its ability to support standardized systems across multi-location networks.
