UFC’s notoriously private financial records may become public in 2019.
That is because parent company Endeavor is reportedly pressing forward with plans to become a publicly traded company, according to the Wall Street Journal. Endeavor will likely file confidential paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) later this year.
The prospect of Endeavor, and as an extension the UFC, going public has been in the conversation ever since Zuffa, LLC sold the company to Endeavor — formerly WME-IMG — for an estimated $4 billion in 2016.
The UFC has always kept its finances close to its chest.
