The UFC Made ‘Well Over $700 Million’ Last Year, Moody’s Investors Service Reports

UFC 226 is now available on Amazon Prime.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship had a record-setting year in terms of revenue last year, which UFC President Dana White had alluded to for quite some time.

According to a recent Moody’s Investors Service announcement, UFC Holdings, LLC, generated “well over $700 million” in revenue over the last 12 months ending in March 2018. UFC Holdings is the name of the corporate entity after Zuffa sold the promotion to Endeavor, Silver Lake Partners and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.

Former owners Frank and Lorenzo Ferttita are reported to have earned a $175 million payout for the record-setting accomplishment of a $275 million EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) over the Last Twelve Months (LTM) before the end of 2017.
