The fight game just had its biggest mic-drop moment in years. UFC President Dana White landed a seven-year, $7.7 billion broadcast deal.

Long before UFC inked its $7.7 billion deal with Paramount+, which includes a handful of marquee events on CBS, the network was home to Gary Shaw’s EliteXC promotion, where MMA star Kimbo Slice helped Shaw and Co.

Paramount will become the new home to all UFC events in the U.S., while UFC's CEO says the White House may host a July 4 event broadcast on CBS. One year ago, Oriana Dunker​ was shot in her right leg while attending the Dominican Festival​ in Roxbury.

CBS, the first broadcast network to broadcast a live MMA event, could begin showing live UFC events beginning in 2026 with the new media rights deal between UFC parent company TKO Group Holdings and Paramount. Among those potential CBS events is the proposed UFC card on the White House lawn, according to UFC CEO Dana White.
