Get all the gory details right here.

“We can’t say enough about how great partners and hosts the Utah Sports Commission and Smith Entertainment Group have been for our events,” said Peter Dropick, Executive Vice President, Event Development and Operations for TKO.

“In recent years, Salt Lake City and Delta Center have become a top destination to bring exciting, action-packed UFC and WWE events to our fans in Utah,” Dropick continued. “And we’re thrilled to continue that relationship into 2026.”

UFC currently holds the top three spots for the highest-grossing events in Delta Center history, courtesy of UFC 278: “Usman vs. Edwards 2,” UFC 291: ”Poirier vs. Gaethje 2,“ and UFC 307: ”Pereira vs. Rountree.“ An exact date for the numbered UFC card in 2026 has yet to be determined.
