Matrix Fight Night

What Matrix Fight Night does

Matrix Fight Night (MFN) is an India-based MMA (mixed martial arts) event promotion company that organizes live professional fight cards under a recurring branded series. Founded in March 2019 by Bollywood personality Tiger Shroff alongside family members Ayesha Shroff and Krishna Shroff, and headquartered in Mumbai, the company has produced 18 events in its numbered series (MFN 1 through MFN 18), held primarily across Indian venues in Mumbai, New Delhi, Hyderabad, Noida, and Greater Noida, with an international foray into Dubai. The platform centers on ticket-selling live events that showcase professional MMA bouts, supported by corporate sponsorship inventory sold to brand partners.

The core product is the event itself: a curated fight card performed in premium venues (including NSCI Dome in Mumbai and Siri Fort in New Delhi), with athletes contracted on a per-event or short-term basis. Operationally, MFN relies on a small core team of approximately 12 employees, indicating a lean production model that likely outsources technical production, venue operations, and broadcast on a per-event basis rather than maintaining permanent infrastructure in-house. There is no disclosed proprietary technology stack beyond standard event-management and ticketing tooling.

The business model is a hybrid of consumer ticket revenue and B2B corporate sponsorship. Tickets are sold directly to fans for each numbered event, while the other revenue leg comes from title and associate sponsorships negotiated on a per-event or series basis. The celebrity ownership provides marketing leverage and media access, but does not alter the fundamental economics of a live-event promotion business: revenue is event-cadence bound, lumpy by quarter, and exposed to venue, athlete, and sponsorship concentration risk. No external funding rounds, acquisitions, or institutional investors have been disclosed, and the company remains privately held by the founding family.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• ONE Championship: Asia's largest MMA and combat-sports promotion, headquartered in Singapore with broad South/Southeast Asian reach. Operates the same event-promotion plus broadcast business model targeting Asian fight fans, making it MFN's most relevant regional incumbent.
• UFC: Global MMA category leader that defines the professional MMA event/fighter-ranking model MFN replicates at smaller scale. Sets the competitive ceiling and benchmark for fight cards, title architecture, and broadcast revenue that MFN aspires to tap domestically.
• Professional Fighters League (PFL): Global MMA promotion (including Bellator) operating a season-format tournament model. Comparable as a mainstream-tier MMA event promoter pursuing broadcast-scale monetization that MFN's event model could feed into.

Regional players

• UAE Warriors: UAE-based MMA promotion hosting regular events in the Emirates. Directly competes with MFN for venue access, local sponsors, and audience share inside MFN's Dubai market.
• BRAVE Combat Federation: Bahrain-headquartered MMA promotion focused on the Middle East and North Africa. Competes for the same Gulf-based South-Asian-diaspora fan base that MFN targets via its Dubai events and uses a similar regional-event serial format.

Emerging players

• Combate Global: MMA promotion running short-format events targeted at Latin American and Hispanic fan markets. Similar operational DNA: regional MMA event series with celebrity-produced positioning and digital-media emphasis.
• Karate Combat: Fast-growing combat-sports promotion built around live events and short-form digital distribution. Relevant as a tech-enabled, emerging promoter innovating on broadcast and monetization—comparable to where MFN could evolve.

Direct peers

• Super Fight League (SFL): Was India's leading MMA promotion (2012-2019) before ceasing operations. MFN effectively occupies the same domestic niche with a comparable celebrity-backed event-card model in the same Indian MMA fan base.
