New York, NY, June 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mixed Martial Arts Group Limited (NYSE:MMA) ("MMA" or the "Company" and doing business as MMA.INC), a technology driven ecosystem at the forefront of the global combat sports industry, today announced that it will relaunch MixedMartialArts.com with original content built around UFC International Fight Week and the highly anticipated July 11, 2026 return of investor and strategic advisor Conor McGregor.

As part of the relaunch, UFC broadcaster and MMA.INC Board member Laura Sanko will conduct a feature interview with MMA.INC co-founder John Kavanagh, McGregor’s long-time coach and mentor. The interview is expected to provide rare insight into one of the most watched comeback stories in combat sports and will be released on MixedMartialArts.com in the lead-up to fight night.

The Company intends to use the surge in global attention around McGregor’s return to drive renewed engagement, new account registrations and owned audience growth across MixedMartialArts.com.

MixedMartialArts.com has long been one of the most recognized digital communities in the sport. Through the relaunch, MMA.INC is repositioning the platform as a core fan-engagement and content asset within its broader combat sports ecosystem, which includes BJJLink, TrainAlta, Hype and XP Passport.

"Conor’s return is not just another fight week. It is a global combat sports moment," said Nick Langton, Founder and CEO of MMA.INC. "When the most influential athlete in the history of the sport returns to the Octagon, attention moves across every layer of MMA; fans, media, gyms, coaches, athletes and brands. Our objective is to convert that attention into owned audience growth and long-term platform engagement."

"MixedMartialArts.com has extraordinary heritage. It was one of the original digital homes of MMA culture, and we believe the timing is right to relaunch it with stronger content, sharper community focus and deeper integration across the MMA.INC ecosystem. Having Laura interview John in the lead-up to Conor’s return is exactly the type of authentic, high value content that can reconnect fans with the platform and introduce a new generation to MixedMartialArts.com."

John Kavanagh, co-founder of MMA.INC and McGregor’s long-time coach, has previously been appointed to lead initiatives focused on converting global MMA fans into active participants across the Company’s ecosystem. His upcoming interview with Laura Sanko is expected to cover McGregor’s return, the evolution of the sport, and the broader opportunity to move fans from passive viewership into active training, community and participation.

Laura Sanko, a UFC broadcaster and MMA.INC Board member, brings a rare combination of technical knowledge, broadcast credibility and martial arts experience. Her involvement reflects MMA.INC’s focus on producing original content that is credible to core fans, accessible to broader audiences and strategically aligned with the Company’s mission to grow participation in martial arts globally.

MMA.INC expects the relaunch to support several strategic objectives:

Drive new account registrations on MixedMartialArts.com during peak global fan attention
Reintroduce MixedMartialArts.com as a major owned media and community asset
Use original content to deepen fan engagement and repeat visitation
Connect fan activity to MMA.INC’s broader ecosystem, including BJJLink, TrainAlta, and XP Passport
Establish a content-led acquisition channel that can support future monetization through community, commerce, subscriptions, rewards and partner activations

"Combat sports does not have an attention problem. It has an infrastructure problem," Langton added. "Hundreds of millions of people follow MMA, but much of that attention is captured by disconnected platforms. MMA.INC is building owned infrastructure to connect that attention to participation, identity, commerce and community. MixedMartialArts.com is central to that strategy."

The Company expects to begin releasing relaunch content in the lead-up to UFC International Fight Week and will continue expanding original programming, community features and platform integrations following McGregor’s July 11 return.
