Enhancing Engagement Through Data
TKO CEO Ariel Emanuel said the partnership turns spectators into active participants, while Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan described it as “watching expectations evolve with every round.” The collaboration will also feature post-fight prediction content across UFC’s social channels.
