UFC President, Dana White, has recently clarified the nature of the relationship between WWE and UFC under the TKO brand. He emphasized that there has been no direct involvement between UFC and the wrestling wing of TKO.
While both WWE and UFC have utilized their association with TKO for promotional activities, White clarified that there hasn’t been any specific partnership apart from this. His comments came during the media interaction session that followed the UFC 302.
In his own words, White stated, “The operations are very distinct. I haven’t worked with them directly. I manage my business’s tasks; they deal with their own. They are enlisting a few team members from my side to assist them in different business areas.”
He elaborated further by adding, “With regards to organizing live events, WWE excels in their area of expertise as do we in ours. That is the extent of our collaboration.”
It’s noteworthy that the next NXT Battleground pay-per-view event will take place at UFC’s Apex facility.
