TKO, the parent company of WWE, UFC and PBR (Professional Bull Riders), announced a massive multi-day event that will take over Kansas City this April.
This historic affair, facilitated by the Kansas City Sports Commission, will see the T-Mobile Center become the first venue to host a 'TKO Takeover', showcasing consecutive PBR, UFC, and WWE events over a single weekend.
Fans will have the opportunity to experience non-stop action from all three sports and entertainment entities starting with PBR on Thursday, April 24. The event will then continue with UFC FIGHT NIGHT on Saturday, April 26 and wrap up with WWE Raw on Monday, April 28.

“Kansas City has collectively hosted dozens of UFC, WWE, and PBR events over the years, and it has become a top destination for each of these respective promotions,” said Peter Dropick, Executive Vice President, Event Development and Operations for TKO.
“This is a unique opportunity to showcase these three premier properties in one city at the same time for the benefit of fans and visitors to the area. We thank the Kansas City Sports Commission and the management at T-Mobile Center for making this possible.”
