M2MMA plans ABC debut for combat sports AI platform

M2MMA will unveil its M2Intel operating system and new M2Coach tool at the ABC Conference in Orlando on Aug. 4, with the company pitching both products as a way to centralize athlete health records and improve safety. After the presentation, General Manager Chris Cannon will meet with stakeholders in New York and Connecticut as M2MMA pushes for broader adoption.

Why it matters: - M2MMA is positioning its AI tools as infrastructure for combat sports safety, with a centralized medical system designed to unify records, testing and sanctioning data across jurisdictions. - The company is also targeting athlete performance and support, which could make its platform relevant to regulators, promoters and fighters at the same time.
