Affiliate program

Who this is for

We work with people who cover the sport seriously:

• Pundits who publish calls before events, including the pundits whose records we already track
• Coaches and gym owners whose members follow the sport closely
• Writers, podcasters and analysts with an engaged MMA audience

We approve every affiliate by hand. Audience size matters less than whether your audience trusts your analysis.

What you earn

We pay on money we have actually collected. Nothing is owed on sign-ups that never convert, and commissions on refunded payments are reversed.

What your audience gets

Anyone who uses your code gets 30 days of full access before their first charge, instead of the standard 21. Membership is $29 a month or $200 a year, and they can cancel at any time.

How it works

1. Apply. Tell us where you publish and who your audience is.
2. We review. You hear back within five business days.
3. You get a code and a link. Something like JOHN and mmafightadvisor.com/?ref=john. They do not expire mid-season, so they keep working in older videos and episodes.
4. You get paid monthly, with a dashboard showing every referral and what it earned.

The 90-day term

Affiliates are enrolled in 90-day terms, renewed automatically. The review is our chance to keep the program working for both sides, not a countdown on your earnings: anyone who joins through you during an active term keeps paying out for their full six months, even if the arrangement ends.

If we decide not to renew, you hear from us 14 days before the term ends, and your code keeps working for your audience.

What we ask

• Tell people it's a paid relationship. In the content itself, not only in a description or bio. On YouTube, that means ticking the paid-promotion box.
• Keep it grounded. Point people at the record. It's public, and it's the most convincing thing we have. Please don't promise anyone a result, and describe us as an analytical service rather than a source of picks. We send approved copy to make this easy.
• Paid ads are welcome, with a few conditions: follow the platform's own rules, keep the claims as grounded as anywhere else, don't bid on our brand name or domain, and tell us which channels you're running so we don't end up bidding against each other.
• No coupon sites, no self-referrals, no unsolicited messages.

The full rules are in the affiliate terms.

For tracked pundits

Some of the pundits we rank are also affiliates. Ranking is calculated automatically from logged calls, and being an affiliate has no effect on it in either direction. We note this publicly on the leaderboard.
