Our platform automates matchmaking and event management for martial arts, eliminating weeks of manual admin work by instantly connecting clubs, fighters, and promoters. It streamlines communication and fight scheduling, ensuring faster, fairer matchups and fewer missed opportunities.

Vision Statement: Transform the martial arts industry with smart, innovative technology
Mission statement: To be the go-to platform for matchmaking, event organisation, and fighter development in martial arts. 

Our Story

Fightlinx was born from a simple problem: martial arts matchmaking is outdated and inefficient. While preparing for a university interclub, we saw fighters miss opportunities because finding fair matchups was time-consuming and disorganised. We built Fightlinx to change that. By connecting fighters, clubs, and promoters on one seamless platform, we’re making matchmaking faster, fairer, and more efficient. What began as a simple fix has become our mission to reshape the future of martial arts.

So far, we’ve built an email list of over 25 clubs and fighters across multiple martial arts disciplines who are eager to be part of our platform. By attending fight events and expos, we’ve also gathered key insights that have shaped the foundation of our MVP, which we aim to release in September.

Next Phase

The next phase for Fightlinx is the launch of our MVP and the refinement of our business model.As we begin onboarding clubs, we also plan to introduce tailored products and services that help fighters enhance their performance — adding further value to our platform. Through Elevate, we hope to gain guidance on scaling our platform, validating our commercial model, and connecting with mentors and networks that can accelerate our growth.

Get Involved

We are not currently seeking investment, but as we expand and refine our business model, we are very open to future funding opportunities.
Our immediate focus is on launching the Fightlinx beta app and validating our product with early users. As we gain traction and better understand our growth needs, we’ll be looking to bring on strategic investors who can help us scale the platform, enhance our technology, and expand our reach in the martial arts community.
