Our Story
EST. 2017
Founded in 2017, Rival launched as Australia's first combat sports management company — signing rising UFC stars Robert Whittaker, Alex Volkanovski, Jim Crute, Steve Erceg, Jacob Malkoun and more. Rival remains the only management company from Australia to have guided two fighters through to becoming UFC Champions. With over 60 years of combined management experience, we have negotiated some of the biggest commercial sports and media deals in Australian history. In early 2026, Rival expanded into the United States opening offices in Las Vegas and Los Angeles, and in 2027 has plans to expand to both Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
Rival Sports Management offers true 360° representation — pairing an international network with hands-on, personal support so our select group of elite level clients can focus entirely on performing at the highest level.
