UFC and WWE Strengthen Their Presence in Las Vegas with New Agreements
Las Vegas is solidifying its position as an epicenter of sports entertainment. The UFC has extended 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. Since 2017, the UFC has been a cornerstone in this venue, owned by MGM Resorts and AEG. The renewal of this agreement ensures the continuation of a successful collaboration. Furthermore, WWE, which shares a parent company with the UFC (TKO Group Holdings), expands its presence in the city. WWE has recently held major events in Las Vegas, including WrestleMania, and this new agreement formalizes and strengthens that growing relationship.Since 2017, the UFC has held 20 sold-out events at the T-Mobile Arena. WWE hosted WrestleMania in April at Allegiant Stadium, but held several ancillary 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 that event.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 taken place in that arena, and I look forward to breaking more records together.
