The International Mixed Martial Arts Federation (IMMAF) has selected direct-to-fan streaming platform provider, Joymo, to revamp and power IMMAF.tv, creating a new digital content hub for the global body for MMA.<\/p>\n
The dedicated video streaming platform launched with live coverage of the IMMAF Youth World Championships in Al Ain in late July, which registered record-breaking social media reach and athlete participation. Coverage of the event was streamed in 48 countries, from Austria to Angola and Mauritius to Mongolia, via IMMAF.tv, registering more than 170,000 content plays and over 750 days-worth of cumulative watch-time.<\/p>\n
The platform will continue to broadcast exclusive live and on-demand content from IMMAF events. Including the 2025 IMMAF World Championships in Tbilisi, Georgia, (September 27th \u2013 October 2nd) and the 2025 IMMAF Pan American Championships from Monterrey, Mexico (November 16th-22nd).<\/p>\n
