By MMAReign News Desk·Oct 25, 2026 • 10:03 PM

UFC CEO Dana White has affirmed that the promotion will continue to host events in the Middle East despite ongoing regional instability.

UFC CEO Dana White has confirmed that the organization intends to move forward with its scheduled events in the Middle East, despite the intensifying conflict in the region. Amidst growing uncertainty that has led other organizers to cancel or postpone major international gatherings, White maintained a firm stance regarding the promotion's operational plans. During recent comments regarding the organization's global schedule, White addressed the situation directly, stating, 'We'll be there.' The UFC’s commitment contrasts with other high-profile event organizers, such as those behind Saudi Arabia’s 'Davos in the Desert' (Future Investment Initiative), which recently announced a postponement until next year due to regional instability. As of now, the UFC has not indicated any changes to its upcoming Middle East itinerary, signaling that the promotion remains focused on maintaining its established global calendar.
