About this update from Mixed Martial Arts Group Limited

Highlights New York, NY, April 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mixed Martial Arts Group Limited (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 continued strong expansion of its BJJLink platform across Latin America, with the number of paying academies in the region increasing from 73 to 151, representing a 107% year-over-year between April 2025 and April 2026.
