Galaxy Macau has signed an agreement with premier Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) organisation, UFC, to host the UFC Fight Night Macau on November 23 at the Galaxy Arena in Macau.
This global MMA event marks UFC’s return to Macau after a decade, making it a major sporting highlight for Macau and Greater China this year.
Under the theme of Tourism + Sports, this collaboration aims to enhance Macau’s reputation as a “City of Sports”, attracting sports enthusiasts from around the world to this ideal travel destination.
Since entering Asia in 2010, Macau has been a stronghold for UFC. The city hosted three Fight Nights in 2012 and 2014. This upcoming event marks UFC’s return to Greater China after four years.
With the Greater Bay Area co-hosting the 2025 National Games, this collaboration between Galaxy Arena and UFC is of great significance. Galaxy Macau aims to showcase Macau’s unique geographical location, rich tourism resources, and strong sports enthusiasm to visiting spectators, continuously promoting the integrated development of sports and tourism in Macau.
Kevin Kelley, COO of Macau of Galaxy Entertainment Group, highlighted the return of the UFC event back to Macau as a prestigious addition to Galaxy Macau’s growing portfolio of international sports events which includes the ITTF Men’s and Women’s World Cup Macao 2024 and The Women’s Volleyball Nations League 2024 Macao.
UFC senior vice president and head of Asia Kevin Chang expressed his excitement: “We are ecstatic to be back at this incredible destination 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 to partner with Galaxy Macau and can’t wait to put on an electrifying show at the state-of-the-art Galaxy Arena to the delight of fans across the region.”
