Iconic Events has reached a deal with UFC to continue presenting the Mma promotion’s pay-per-view events in theaters nationwide through the end of 2022.
The partnership between Iconic and UFC began in January 2021 before most movie theaters even reopened with a pay-per-view event headlined by Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor. Iconic is aiming to appeal to Mma fans by giving them a way to see the biggest fights in an arena-esque environment with dozens of other fans and at a $25 price tag that is considerably cheaper than the $75-80 PPV prices on ESPN+.
“UFC is the ultimate theatrical sporting event – there’s simply nothing like experiencing these highly entertaining, competitive, and captivating fights on the big screen,” Iconic Events CEO Steve Bunnell said Tuesday. “UFC athletes are the best in the world and seeing them on giant movie theatre screens with the high-end sound cranked up is a thrilling way to watch them.
