TKO Group Holdings, Inc.

From the Octagon to the Aisle: UFC® and FoodStory Brands Launch Main Event™ Protein Bars

UFC, a subsidiary of TKO Group Holdings, and private CPG firm FoodStory Brands officially launched Main Event, a co-owned performance nutrition brand debuting with a line of protein bars available now at maineventprotein.com. The product was developed over an 18-month period alongside the UFC Performance Institute, with each bar delivering 20g of protein, 5g of fiber, and just 3g of sugar, plus functional ingredients like L-theanine and tart cherry. Retail distribution begins this fall at Hy-Vee, Wegmans, Jewel Osco, and Smith's Food and Drug, with IMG Licensing having developed and packaged the co-owned venture. For TKO, the launch extends the UFC brand into consumer packaged goods, but no financial terms were disclosed and the venture is too small to move near-term results.
