Home of Fight (HOF), a platform in the combat sports media sector, has successfully completed a Series A funding round led by its new CEO, Matty Betss.
Growth Box Ventures, a venture capital firm known for investing in early-stage startups within the digital media, sports, and igaming sectors, provided significant backing for this funding round.
HOF has experienced remarkable growth since the beginning of 2024, with its social media following nearly doubling from 520,000 to over one million across various platforms.
The funding will enable Home of Fight to enhance its content production capabilities and expand its presence at UFC events.
The company plans to launch an extensive lineup of original programming, starting with its flagship "Show Me The Money Podcast," which aims to provide fans with a comprehensive view of combat sports.
HOF's expansion plans include comprehensive coverage of UFC events, fighter-hosted podcasts, and specialized content focused on betting insights.
The addition of UFC veterans Gilbert Burns and Renato Moicano as co-hosts of the "Show Me The Money Podcast" aims to establish a unique voice within the combat sports media landscape. Home of Fight aims to redefine the standards of MMA media and establish itself as a premier destination for fans seeking comprehensive coverage of the sport.
The platform's leadership team, including head of content Roman Abdullaiev, is excited about entering a new chapter and evolving from a one-man venture to a dynamic media powerhouse. By bringing together analysts, content creators, and fighters, HOF aims to deliver a richer, more engaging experience for its audience.
