Workers for TKO Group Holdings have raised safety concerns regarding UFC and WWE events held in Saudi Arabia, alleging that financial motives are prioritized over participant well-being. According to reports, employees have spoken out about what they describe as inadequate safety protocols and pressure to stage events in the kingdom despite risks.
The criticism comes as TKO continues to expand its partnership with Saudi Arabia, hosting multiple high-profile combat sports and entertainment shows. Workers claim that the drive for lucrative contracts has led to compromised safety standards, though specific incidents were not detailed in initial statements.
