Mixed Martial Arts Group Limited (NYSE American: MMA), operating as MMA.INC, has announced a strategic partnership with Zebra Athletics to launch a new co-branded equipment and apparel vertical.<\/p>\n
The partnership is structured as a capital-efficient, \u201clight\u201d model, allowing MMA.INC to leverage Zebra\u2019s established global supply chain and manufacturing expertise without significant overhead.<\/p>\n
The initial rollout will focus on the Oceania region, where both companies maintain a strong operational presence, before a planned global expansion across MMA.INC\u2019s network of 16 countries.<\/p>\n
Commenting on the partnership, Founder & CEO of MMA.INC., Nick Langton, said:\u00a0\u201cProviding world-class training environments is essential as participation in martial arts continues to expand globally.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cThis partnership with Zebra allows us to deliver premium equipment to our members while opening a new revenue adjacency in gear and apparel through a highly capital-efficient structure,\u201d Langton said.<\/p>\n
Powering the TrainAlta Participation Ecosystem<\/p>\n
The primary focus of the collaboration is the outfitting of MMA.INC\u2019s TrainAlta programs. Zebra Athletics will supply premium, co-branded training gear and apparel designed specifically for the \u201cWarrior Training Program\u201d and other participation-driven initiatives.<\/p>\n
Enhanced Member Experience: Participants in the 20-week TrainAlta programs will now have direct access to high-performance gear endorsed by elite athletes.
\nNew Revenue Adjacency: The deal creates a scalable merchandise vertical tied directly to the growth of MMA.INC\u2019s student base, which currently includes over 75,000 active students.
\nZebra\u2019s Heritage: For over 25 years, Zebra has been a global leader in martial arts flooring and equipment, with Zebra Australia (launched in 2018) currently endorsed by stars such as former UFC Middleweight Champion Robert Whittaker.<\/p>\n
The move follows a period of rapid infrastructure building for MMA.INC, which includes the integration of the BJJLink gym management system and a strategic focus on \u201ctokenised\u201d participation rewards via its digital ecosystem. By adding a physical gear component, the company now offers a \u201ccomplete platform\u201d covering training, community, content, and the essential tools required for the mats.<\/p>\n
