Highlights
- Independent media feature documents 41-pound weight loss and progression to a sanctioned amateur MMA bout through TrainAlta at UFC GYM
- Reinforces TrainAlta’s ability to convert combat sports interest into structured, high-engagement participation

New York, NY, April 21, 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 highlighted a third-party participant success story that it believes provides clear, real-world validation of its TrainAlta program operating within UFC GYM locations.
An April 19, 2026 feature published by L.A. TACO documented the journey of Los Angeles chef Walther Adrianzen, who entered the TrainAlta program following a health scare and went on to lose 41 pounds, before competing in a sanctioned amateur MMA bout at UFC GYM Torrance. According to the article, Adrianzen reduced his weight from 211 pounds to 170 pounds in under a year. (lataco.com)
L.A. TACO also reported that Adrianzen described the program as a complete lifestyle reset, including weight loss, improved discipline and entry into amateur competition. The article further noted that, based on pre-fight medical testing, his doctor informed him that his diabetes had gone into remission. (lataco.com)
According to the article, Adrianzen’s transformation accelerated after joining the ALTA program at UFC GYM Rosemead, with the 20-week program combining structured coaching, training progression and a culminating live event. The Torrance finale included participants from multiple UFC GYM locations, reflecting broader deployment of the program across the network. (lataco.com)
For MMA.INC, the significance is direct. The Company believes the story demonstrates how structured programming inside partner gyms can convert casual interest in combat sports into sustained participation, deeper engagement and meaningful personal outcomes.
Rich Chou, VP of North America for MMA.INC, said:
“This is exactly what the model is designed to do. Take someone from outside the sport and provide them a structured pathway into training, progression and ultimately competition. That transition from interest to participation is where the real value sits.”
The Company believes participant outcomes of this nature act as a strong catalyst for accelerated rollout of structured programming across its partner gym network and reinforce its strategy of building a participation-driven ecosystem spanning training, events, digital engagement and payments.
