Dana White’s new Zuffa Boxing league has announced its first standalone event. It takes place on January 23, 2026, at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, which is operated and owned by TKO Group Holdings.
The event will stream live on Paramount+, under the newly acquired Paramount+ media rights. It is scheduled one day before UFC 324, which is also the promotion’s first numbered card of 2026, and the first on the new streaming platform. Fans, however, were not impressed with the small-scale opening of the Zuffa Boxing league.
Many questioned how the promotion could choose to hold the event at the UFC Apex, which has limited seating capacity and is typically used for fight nights and weigh-ins.
