UFC and WWE Strengthen Their Presence in Las Vegas with New Agreements
Las Vegas is solidifying itself as an epicenter of sports and entertainment. The UFC has renewed its agreement to hold at least four annual events at the T-Mobile Arena, while the WWE joins with a commitment of two events per year. The UFC has been a fundamental pillar at the T-Mobile Arena, owned by MGM Resorts and AEG, since 2017. This successful collaboration will continue, as recently announced. In addition, WWE, which shares the same parent company as the UFC, TKO Group Holdings, has formalized its commitment with two annual events. WWE has held major events in Las Vegas in recent years, including WrestleMania. This new agreement formalizes and expands the growing relationship between both parties.Since 2017, the UFC has held 20 sold-out events at the T-Mobile Arena. WWE held WrestleMania in April at Allegiant Stadium. T-Mobile Arena hosted several side events in support of WrestleMania. WrestleMania is expected to return to Allegiant Stadium in April 2026, and T-Mobile Arena will host Smackdown and Raw in support of this event.“The T-Mobile Arena has been the scene of some of the most iconic UFC fights in the last decade. Five of our top ten highest-grossing events have taken place in that venue, and I hope to break more records together,” commented Dana White, UFC CEO.
