Nick Khan says both the WWE and UFC are looking to create a spectacle like the annual NFL Draft.
Appearing on the Bill Simmons Podcast, Nick Khan was asked if WWE and UFC (TKO) are looking to create something similar to the annual NFL Draft, one of the most watched sporting events of the year.
“The NFL Draft. The first in Philly, where they took it out of New York and hundreds of thousands of people are there. What is there like that for UFC and WWE that could work? That’s something we’re hyper-focused on,”
