Randal Kolo Muani, PSG striker and French international, has decided to follow in the footsteps of his teammate William Saliba by investing in MMA. With the rise in popularity of MMA in France since its legalization in 2020, and after the resounding success of UFC Paris 3 last September, this discipline is attracting new investors from the world of sport and entertainment.
Kolo Muani joins the SLAM fund with Saliba and other athletes
Kolo Muani’s investment is made via the SLAM fund, which specializes in sports, luxury, arts and music, and which owns the Ares Fighting Championship organization. Last May, SLAM, accompanied by UFC champion Ciryl Gane, bought this organization as well as the MMA Factory, a management agency dedicated to athletes. Alongside Saliba, Raphaël Varane, Rudy Gobert and Pierre Gasly, Kolo Muani is part of this adventure aimed at developing the first European MMA operator.
“This step marks a turning point in the construction of the first European MMA operator, with athletes and creators who push the limits of their disciplines,” specifies the SLAM fund. The project embodies a 360-degree approach to promoting MMA in Europe and supporting the innovation and competitiveness of this growing sport.
