Overview
- TKO Group Holdings and the Arizona Sports & Events Alliance announced a seven-event agreement to run across three years in the state.
- The slate will feature UFC mixed martial arts, WWE pro wrestling, Professional Bull Riders, and Zuffa Boxing under the TKO umbrella.
- Specific dates, venues, and ticket details have not been released, with organizers saying they will share them later.
- The plan signals a UFC return to the Phoenix market, which last hosted a UFC card in May 2022 after several events from 2017 to 2021.
- The rollout comes as Zuffa expands into boxing, challenging promoters like Matchroom and Top Rank and drawing scrutiny over fighter pay, which could influence which matchups reach Arizona.
