In September 2023, WWE and UFC officially came together as TKO Group Holdings in a blockbuster move for both companies. Since then, fans have seen WWE Superstars at UFC events, and that was the case last night at the UFC 306 show.
UFC 306: O’Malley vs. Dvalishvili took place inside the Sphere in Paradise, Nevada, with a total of ten fights taking place. WWE’s very own Rey and Dominik Mysterio were spotlighted at the event, though were seen separately. The two have been at odds since September 2022 when Dominik turned on his Hall of Fame father at WWE Clash At The Castle in Cardiff, Wales.
WWE And UFC
WWE Superstars can often be spotted at UFC events in examples of cross-promotion branding. During UFC 302, WWE’s Rezar threw out the challenge to fight some UFC heavyweights so fans may be seeing the former Tag Team Champion in the Octagon soon enough. In February, Bianca Belair, Montez Ford, and “retired welterweight” CM Punk appeared at UFC 298.
WWE NXT Battleground was at the UFC Apex on June 9, the first time any WWE event has been held at the venue. Ironically, that show saw WWE work with yet another company, as TNA Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace was on the card. Stay tuned to SEScoops for all the latest from WWE and their work with UFC.
