WWE & UFC both running Anaheim, California Presidents’ Day weekend

Both WWE and UFC will hold events in Anaheim, California over the long Presidents’ Day weekend next month. 

TKO Group Holdings, WWE & UFC’s parent company, announced the double bill Friday, which will be comprised of UFC 298 on Saturday, February 17, and WWE Raw on Monday, February 19 at Honda Center. 

A package ticket deal is being offered with an upper level seat to both events for a combined $285. 

UFC 298 is scheduled to be headlined by a Featherweight title match with champion Alexander Volkanovski defending against Ilia Topuria. 

Cody Rhodes, Becky Lynch, Jey Uso, Nia Jax, and Ricochet are featured in the promotional material for Raw. 

Both WWE’s president Nick Khan and UFC’s CEO Dana White have addressed the possibility of the two companies running the same weekend in the same city, with White addressing the idea last weekend at a press conference: 

“What you’re looking for is economic impact. You want hotels to be sold out, you want restaurants to be filled, you want people out shopping and hanging out. 

I think the WWE, the UFC, a lot of our other properties could definitely do that.”
