Endeavor Group Holdings, the parent company to the UFC, recently released their 4th quarter and full year earnings for 2022. For the full year, they saw $5.268 billion in revenue, up $190.4 million over 2021, and their adjusted EBIDTA was $1.164 billion, up $283.2 million year-over-year. Endeavor also noted that they had made $500 million in discretionary debt payments, bringing its total long-term debt down from $5.63 billion at the end of 2021 to $5.17 billion.
