UFC and WWE Strengthen Their Presence in Las Vegas with Strategic Agreements
Las Vegas is solidifying itself as an epicenter of sports entertainment. The UFC has secured the realization of at least four annual events at the T-Mobile Arena, while the WWE has signed an agreement to hold two events per year in the same venue.

Since 2017, the UFC has been a cornerstone at the T-Mobile Arena, owned by MGM Resorts and AEG. The continuation of this partnership was recently announced, highlighting the importance of Las Vegas as a venue for high-profile events. WWE, under the same parent company as the UFC, TKO Group Holdings, has also formalized its commitment with two annual events.The UFC has sold out tickets for 20 events held at the T-Mobile Arena since 2017. WWE, for its part, organized WrestleMania in April at Allegiant Stadium, but also held several complementary events at the T-Mobile Arena. WrestleMania is scheduled to return to Allegiant Stadium in April 2026, and the T-Mobile Arena will host Smackdown and Raw in support of this event.“T-Mobile Arena has been the scene of some of the most iconic UFC fights in the last decade. Five of our top 10 highest-grossing events have taken place in that arena, and I look forward to breaking more records together.”
