Mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion company Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has launched a new US$465m leveraged loan, as the franchise benefits from an improved media rights agreement with pay TV sports channel ESPN that secures greater revenue, people familiar with the matter said. UFC is adding the US$465m loan to an existing US$1.875bn term loan B that matures in 2026. UFC’s parent company, Hollywood talent agency Endeavor Operating Company (formerly WME-IMG), bought UFC for US$4bn in 2016.
