Overview
- White confirmed at the UFC 323 post‑fight news conference in Las Vegas that he signed a new five‑year deal this year.
- The promotion did not disclose exact start or end dates for the extension after his 2019 seven‑year contract had been expected to run into 2026.
- White continues as CEO, a title he assumed in 2023 when UFC ownership shifted to TKO Holdings from Zuffa.
- Industry discussion has noted his lighter event presence in 2025 and his involvement with Zuffa Boxing launching in 2026, raising questions about how he will divide his time.
- Commentators suggest the planned shift from pay‑per‑view to a Paramount+ subscription model in 2026 could change promotional strategy and fighter‑pay incentives.
