The UFC and WWE solidify their presence in Las Vegas with significant agreements for annual events at the T-Mobile Arena.
UFC and WWE: A Strategic Alliance in Las Vegas
The world of combat sports and sports entertainment is strengthening in Las Vegas. The UFC has extended its agreement to hold at least four events a year at the T-Mobile Arena, while the WWE has signed a commitment to hold two annual events at the same venue. Since 2017, the UFC has been a cornerstone at the T-Mobile Arena, owned by MGM Resorts and AEG. This fruitful partnership continues, and is now reinforced by WWE, which shares the same parent company as the UFC, TKO Group Holdings.The UFC has sold out tickets for 20 events held at the T-Mobile Arena since 2017. WWE, for its part, held WrestleMania at the Allegiant Stadium in April, but also organized several related events at the T-Mobile Arena. WrestleMania is scheduled to return to the Allegiant Stadium in April 2026, and the T-Mobile Arena will host Smackdown and Raw in support of this event.“The T-Mobile Arena has hosted some of the most iconic UFC fights in the last decade. Five of our top ten highest-grossing events have been held in that arena, and I look forward to breaking more records together”.
