Baseball legend Alex Rodriguez has joined up with MMA promotion PFL as an investor during a $30million round of funding.
Rodriguez, a former New York Yankee who won the World Series in 2009, has joined the MMA league's board of directors after they secured a new $30m funding deal as part of their worldwide expansion. The ex-third baseman will be joined on the board by Daniel Leff of Waverley Capital, who led the investment round.
He joins the likes of rapper Wiz Khalifa and a host of other major names in the business world to join PFL as an investor. The league is currently home to Brendan Loughnane as well as Olympic gold medalist and unbeaten star Kayla Harrison and former UFC champion Anthony Pettis.
