South Florida · Founding Round Open · 2026

Every Sport Has
A Home.
Except This One.

Golf has Augusta. Tennis has Wimbledon. Comedy has its clubs. Combat sports — the oldest form of human competition — has no dedicated home in the US. Dojokan is the first. A permanent venue. A global stream. An owned content engine. A real-time prediction markets layer. All four running simultaneously on every event night — from one address in South Florida.

The Idea
"Not a venue that hosts events.
A media company with a fight floor."

AI is compressing production costs while creating unprecedented hunger for real, visceral experiences. You cannot stream the feeling of being ringside — and every fight night at DŌJŌKAN is a live event, a broadcast, and a growing media library, all under one roof.

Think Topgolf combined with the UFC Apex.

Global Brand Model
A media brand with a physical home — the IP travels, the brand compounds
= DŌJŌKAN
The Problem

Every promoter, brand, and celebrity who wants to run a fight night starts from zero. And every fight fan is still asking the same question: why isn’t there a place I can go every weekend and watch great fights? DŌJŌKAN answers both.

Across Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee, 75% of all sanctioned combat sports events have no permanent venue. In California, that number is 100%. The infrastructure gap is structural — and it’s global.

The Business Model
01
Venue Revenue

Broadcast-ready rentals to outside promoters. High-margin, recurring, and driven by a market with zero alternatives.

Layer 1 · The Foundation
02
Content Co-Productions

Venue access exchanged for content rights and revenue share. The result: a growing IP library licensable to DAZN, Netflix, and beyond.

Layer 2 · The Scaler
03
Brand & Sponsorships

Naming rights and permanent brand integrations sold across all events. The venue is the billboard.

Layer 3 · The Multiplier
04
Betting & Prediction Markets

Direct sportsbook partnerships with platforms like DraftKings, Fanatics, and Kalshi. Florida’s legalized betting market opens a high-margin channel most venues cannot access — and prediction market integration is built into the model from day one.

High Margin
05
F&B and Merchandise

Premium F&B and exclusive apparel. The brand is the product; every item sold is a marketing asset.

Ancillary
06
Private & Corporate Events

Companies, brands, and individuals renting the venue for corporate events, product launches, brand activations, and private fight nights. The building generates revenue every day of the week — not just on fight nights.

Non-Fight Revenue
This is not a real estate play. Most fight promotions are cash-poor but content-rich — they have fighters and audiences, but no production infrastructure. Dojokan provides both, creating a natural funnel of content partners. Think of it as a studio building a film library — except every film is a live fight night.
Why Miami / South Florida
01
The New Sports Capital of America
F1, Messi, World Cup, and record-breaking UFC attendances. Miami is already the sports capital.
02
Sports Betting Is Now Legal in Florida
A high-margin revenue channel is now open. DŌJŌKAN captures it from day one via in-venue integration and direct platform partnerships.
03
Zero Competition. Confirmed.
No dedicated fight venue exists in South Florida in the 1,500–2,500 capacity range. The brand that moves first owns the market.
04
Broward County: The Right Base
Lower real estate costs than Miami proper, a deep local fight community, and full proximity to Miami's ecosystem.
05
A Scene Without a Home
Combat Night, CCW, Titan FC, BKFC, Gamebred — an active scene currently forced to compromise on nightclubs and event spaces.

The line
outside is
the story.

Limited capacity. Premium access. A cultural destination that generates its own gravity for fans, brands, and media.

Founding Round · Now Open

The First Home
For Combat Sports
In America.

Dojokan is raising its founding round. We are looking for partners who understand what it means to be first, and who want to own a founding stake in the brand before it scales globally.

Founding Equity

Equity in the venue, the content IP, and the brand. Participate in every revenue layer from day one.

Operator-Led Execution

Your capital builds the brand. The operator executes it. Clean structure, clear accountability.

First-Mover. No Competition.

No dedicated fight venue in South Florida. No comparable model in the US. The brand that moves first defines the category.

This is not being built as a single venue. Every process — production standards, event operations, revenue model, content workflow — is documented from day one so it can be replicated without depending on any single operator or personality. South Florida is the proof of concept. The systems are the real product. The brand is the asset that scales to fight-capital cities globally.
