ANAHEIM, Calif. and NEW YORK, NY, Feb. 15, 2024 – OCVIBE, a one-of-a-kind, immersive sports and entertainment district centered around Honda Center in Anaheim, California, today announced a first-of-its-kind five-year live event partnership with UFC and WWE, two of the world’s most iconic sports and entertainment brands.

Starting this year, UFC and WWE will bring at least three events each to Honda Center through 2028. Fans coming to Anaheim over the next five years will see a variety of events ranging from UFC’s must-watch championship Pay Per Views and compelling Fight Nights, to WWE’s spectacular arena shows, including electrifying live TV programs such as Raw and SmackDown.

Additionally, both UFC and WWE will join the inaugural lineup of marquee events at OCVIBE offering fans thrilling non-stop action featuring explosive match-ups with the world’s best mixed martial artists in UFC and the incredible athleticism and epic storytelling of the larger-than-life Superstars in WWE. OCVIBE and UFC will also collaborate to host additional activities, such as viewing parties, where the district’s immersive tech innovations and broad selection of eclectic dining and nightlife options currently in development will create UFC fan experiences far above other sports and entertainment destinations across the country.

This is big news for both companies together. Congratulations to UFC and WWE.

I do hope this year or next year at WM we get a UFC type of vibe arena.

I'm just thinking creative wise. Sports Combat style mixed in with WWE. I guess I just want something different.

Outside of the lawsuit, shit is probably hard to navigate.

How many people from TNA have said they hated the 6 sided ring and how much of a pain it was to bump in.

I’d assume 8 sides would be as difficult

Creed likes the 6 sided ring, not everyone hated it. But it does sound like it sucked on the body

Bloodsport without Shane McMahon is a great concept.
