Message from our CEO
When I first got involved in MMA, I realized what I loved most wasn't just the fights, it was bringing people together. Creating exciting matchups and giving athletes a platform to showcase their hard work is what inspired me to start Up Next Fighting.
Our goal has always been bigger than putting on great events. We want to build a community, create opportunities for fighters, and raise the standard for regional MMA.
Thank you to everyone who has supported UNF and believed in our vision. We're just getting started.
Ryan Buckner
CEO
