A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
IN YOUR
CORNER.
What makes MMA.coop different?
The proposed cooperative is designed around shared ownership by the people who sustain the sport: fighters, gyms and fans. The aim is to combine an exciting MMA experience with member participation, transparent decisions and investment in grassroots development.
Can I become a member now?
Membership is not open yet. Eligibility, any fees, voting arrangements and member benefits will be set out in the founding terms before enrolment begins. Explore the membership pathways above to see the intended role for fighters, gyms and fans.
Are events and tickets available?
The First Bell, Hometown Heroes and The Next Generation describe the programme we want to build. Confirmed dates, venues, athlete line-ups and ticket details will be announced when available.
How would members share in the value?
The intention is to use an agreed surplus policy to support the sport, strengthen the cooperative and provide member benefits where appropriate. Any distribution would depend on performance, the final rules and member decisions. Membership is not a promise of financial returns.
Is MMA.coop affiliated with UFC?
No. MMA.coop is an independent cooperative concept. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to UFC.
