TKO Group, a publicly owned company headquartered in the United States, is a subsidiary of WME Group and holds subsidiaries including IMG, Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), and World Wrestling Entertainment. Founded in 2023, the company employs approximately 180 individuals and reported $4.7 billion in revenue as of 2025. As an entertainment provider, TKO Group functions as a sports and entertainment entity, comprising UFC, a mixed martial arts organization, and WWE. It was established by Endeavor Group Holdings following a merger between World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and Zuffa, the parent company of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff recently questioned Vince McMahon's potential return to TKO's board, suggesting such a move could harm the company. McMahon stepped away from WWE and TKO in 2024. On August 12, TKO Group Holdings announced that President and Chief Operating Officer Mark Shapiro will participate in the Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology Conference on September 8, 2026, at 11:50 a.m. ET in San Francisco, with a webcast available on the company’s investor relations website. Earlier, on August 10, TKO Group Holdings Inc. released its Q2 2026 earnings call transcript, where it reported a raised full-year guidance range and announced plans for additional capital returns through share repurchases. The company highlighted its successful UFC Freedom 250 event, which generated over $1 billion in earned media value and secured 25 new marketing partners, and affirmed it remains on track for its 2030 target of $380 million to $420 million. This earnings call also addressed the UFC's White House event, which, despite being deemed a success by leaders, resulted in a $30 million loss for the company.
