New York, NY, March 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (NYSE American: 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 strong growth in payment transaction volume processed through its BJJLink platform, further extending the momentum highlighted in the Company’s recent announcement of 145% year-on-year subscription revenue growth.

Since MMA.INC acquired BJJLink in December 2024, transaction volume processed by academies using the platform has grown rapidly, reaching an annualized run-rate of approximately $16.2 million as of February 2026, representing approximately 141% growth when compared to the $6.7 million in total transaction volume recorded during calendar year 2024.

BJJLink is a purpose-built digital platform designed specifically for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and martial arts academies, enabling gym owners to manage memberships, billing, student engagement, retail sales and event registrations through a single integrated system.

Payments are processed through Stripe while BJJLink acts as the engagement and payments orchestration layer, managing recurring subscriptions, customer accounts and operational workflows across academies.

The majority of transaction volume on the platform is generated through recurring student memberships, typically ranging from $120 to $200 per month, alongside additional payments for merchandise, seminars, tournaments and special training events.

Importantly, as academies increasingly run their businesses through BJJLink, the platform is generating rich operational and consumer data across the martial arts ecosystem, including participation patterns, membership behavior, purchasing activity and training engagement.

This data layer provides significant long-term strategic value, enabling MMA.INC to develop enhanced products, analytics and commercial opportunities for academies and students, while supporting the Company’s broader strategy of building the core digital infrastructure for the global martial arts industry.

Nick Langton, Founder and CEO of MMA.INC, said:

“Since acquiring BJJLink in December 2024, we have rapidly accelerated both subscription growth and the underlying economic activity running through the platform.

The growth in transaction volume reflects the increasing number of academies using BJJLink as the operational backbone of their businesses.

As more academies migrate away from generic fitness software toward platforms designed specifically for combat sports, we are not only seeing strong payment growth but also the creation of an increasingly valuable data layer across the global martial arts ecosystem.

That data will allow us to deliver better technology, insights and commercial opportunities for academy owners and students while continuing to scale the MMA.INC platform.”

BJJLink is a core pillar in MMA.INC’s strategy to build the world’s leading technology infrastructure for the martial arts industry.
