Investing.com -- Mixed Martial Arts Group Limited (NYSE American:MMA) stock surged 200% following the announcement that Donald Trump Jr. has joined the company as a Strategic Advisor.

The combat sports technology company, which does business as MMA.INC, said Trump Jr. will provide strategic counsel to its board and management team.

Trump Jr. joins the company at a time when it’s experiencing significant growth, working alongside Conor McGregor, who is described as MMA.INC’s most prominent investor and a global icon in combat sports. McGregor’s shareholding and involvement underscore his commitment to the company’s mission of transforming the estimated 640 million global mixed martial arts fans into active participants in the sport.

"The incredible success of the UFC has proven just how powerful mixed martial arts has become, building one of the largest global fanbases in all of sport," said Trump Jr. in the announcement. "I am deeply passionate about supporting small business owners to thrive and am eager to help MMA.INC connect these businesses with fans who want to learn, train, and push themselves to be their best."

McGregor expressed enthusiasm about the addition, stating: "Don is a globally recognized business leader with a deep passion for martial arts and for the coaches and small business owners who are the backbone of this sport."

Nick Langton, Founder and CEO of MMA, called the appointment "another incredible milestone" in building the company’s leadership team.
