Alliance MMA announced the purchase of fighter management company SuckerPunch Entertainment on Tuesday.
The publicly traded, New York City-based Alliance is positioning itself to become the leading feeder system of talent to major promotions. The acquisition of SuckerPunch is the latest in a series of aggressive moves, which has included the purchase of several regional promotions and a live-streaming service.
“We expect that SuckerPunch will prove to be an extraordinary addition to the Alliance MMA organization,” stated Alliance MMA president Robert Haydak. “Their broad experience in managing a number of the sport’s top fighters will bolster our ongoing effort to expand the growing family of Alliance athletes, and will fortify Alliance’s position as a prominent force in the MMA community.
