Alliance MMA, Inc., was incorporated in 2015 and has acquired the following MMA promotions:

According to Danner, the organization intends to add additional promotions to their league in aims of building a national footprint that includes all major media markets and attracts name brand sponsorships.

The regional promotions will continue to operate under their respective names.

Cage Fury’s former President Robert Haydak is now serving as President of Alliance MMA. “By joining the Alliance, smaller promotions become partners in a much larger organization that intends to enhance collective market share and profitability of the businesses through increased ticket sales, incremental events, centralization of certain common business functions, and the application of best business practices across the enterprise,” Haydak stated.

Shares in the company started trading Thursday on the NASDAQ with an opening price of $4.50, making it the only public entity in the MMA space.
