UFC has fully embraced AI in 2026.
Despite earning more guaranteed money than ever, the promotion has been quick to embrace using AI to create content and promotional materials. Notably, the promotion debuted a new teaser video for the UFC White House card that was almost entirely AI-generated, which raised more than a few eyebrows amongst fans. If you donât like this developing trend, UFC CEO Dana White has a simple message: shut the fâk up and watch the fights.
Despite Whiteâs dismissal, itâs not only fans who dislike the increased AI presence. Renato Moicano â who just picked up a one-sided main event victory over Chris Duncan earlier this month â took a stand against AI usage as content and deemed it disrespectful to fans.
âUFC is not going to be very happy for me to say that, but I didnât like it,â Moicano told Ariel Helwani (via ). âI think thatâs disrespectful towards the fans, because I am a fan myself. If you canât put Alex Pereira or Ilia Topuria on a airplane and put them in Washington in front of the White House, I donât think thatâs good. I think thatâs sloppy. I donât like to use AI in my stuff. Iâm not saying AI doesnât help, some stuff I use AI. But not for content. Because I think people can see thatâs just sloppy. Thatâs brain rot.â

At the moment, the backlash has been fairly mild and scattered, so I wouldnât expect any major reaction or change from the UFC. That said, lazy posters and promo videos that are clearly autogenerated add to the general feeling of malaise and disinterest that is a problem for the promotion, even if itâs not yet affecting their bottom line.
