Under the topic Tourism + SportsThe aim of this collaboration is to strengthen Macau’s reputation as a “City of Sports” and to attract sports enthusiasts from all over the world to this ideal destination.

Macau has been a UFC stronghold since entering Asia in 2010. The city hosted three fight nights in 2012 and 2014. The upcoming event marks the UFC's return to Greater China after four years.

As the Greater Bay Area co-hosts the 2025 National Games, this cooperation between Galaxy Arena and UFC is of great significance. Galaxy Macau aims to showcase Macau's unique geographical location, rich tourism resources and great enthusiasm for sports to visitors, thereby continuously promoting the integrated development of sports and tourism in Macau.

Galaxy Entertainment Group COO of Macau Kevin Kelley highlighted the return of the UFC event to Macau as a prestigious addition to Galaxy Macau's growing portfolio of international sporting events, which also includes the 2024 Macau ITTF Men's and Women's World Cup and the 2024 Macau Women's Volleyball Nations League.

Kevin Chang, UFC Senior Vice President and Head of Asia, expressed his excitement: “We are thrilled to be back in this incredible city. Our last UFC event here was a decade ago in 2014 and since then our brand has grown by leaps and bounds. We are proud of our partnership with Galaxy Macau and can't wait to deliver an electrifying show at the state-of-the-art Galaxy Arena to the delight of fans across the region.”
