UFC had the wind at its back in the third quarter with a string of sellout events that pushed revenue and adjusted earnings for the league’s parent company, TKO, to new heights.

UFC delivered double-digit gains in the quarter across all key measures. Revenue climbed 60% year-over-year to $519.2 million, thanks to a $132.3 million increase in media rights, production and content revenue. Live events and hospitality revenue spiked by $36 million, in addition to a $20.5 million increase in partnerships and marketing revenue and a $5.2 million boost in consumer products licensing and other revenue.
