MMA.INC, an Australia-based mixed martial arts firm backed by Donald Trump Jr., is actively pursuing US government contracts to train military personnel and law enforcement officers in combat techniques, in an attempt to tap into public defence budgets. The proposal comes amid broader scrutiny of how politically linked businesses seek access to federal funds, particularly in the defence sector.
American Ventures LLC, a Trump family-affiliated fund, led a December 2025 fundraising round that raised approximately £2.24 million ($3 million) for the company. Donald Trump Jr. serves as a strategic adviser and investor.
