WHO WE ARE
The MMA Network is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded by Mark Perry Jr. Our mission is to empower elite athletes and coaches transitioning from wrestling, boxing, kickboxing, and other combat sports into the world of mixed martial arts (MMA). We recognize the unique challenges these athletes face when losing their traditional support systems and aim to provide them with essential financial assistance and resources. Our team is committed to fostering an environment that allows post-collegiate and post-Olympic talents to pursue their dreams of becoming MMA World Champions, while serving as role models in the community.
WHAT WE DO
Our Impact on Athletes and Communities
At The MMA Network, we provide comprehensive support tailored to the needs of athletes transitioning to MMA. Our programs offer financial aid, mentorship, and resources designed to bridge the gap during their career transitions. We actively connect our athletes with a powerful network of supporters- including visionary sponsors, generous donors, dedicated community partners, and passionate fan- through high-impact workshops, seminars, self-defense classes and exclusive fundraising events.
These initiatives promote health, safety, and awareness while creating meaningful access to elite talent. By encouraging our athletes to give back, we create a cycle of support that benefits everyone involved. Our news blog features inspiring success stories and crucial updates, while our events, including fundraisers and seminars, aim to connect with the community and raise awareness of our cause.
