Endeavor is already making big moves months after purchasing the WWE.
On Thursday, Endeavor announced a 5-year deal with OCVIBE to bring multiple UFC/WWE shows a year to the Honda Center.

“Hosting UFC and WWE at the iconic Honda Center allows us to bring some of the most electric live experiences to the residents of Orange County,” said Bill Foltz, CEO of OCVIBE. “The infectious excitement of these events will only become more powerful as we reimagine the downtown experience for Orange County at OCVIBE, creating a magnetic destination for entertainment, sports, and culture.”
Saturday’s Volkanovski vs Topuria fight in Anaheim will be the first event under the OCVIBE deal.
Many MMA fans have complained that the UFC has been holding so many events in the Apex, and this new deal could alleviate some of those problems.
It’ll be interesting to see if the UFC/WWE continue to make similar deals with different cities across the US in a similar fashion.
