UFC have donated £750,000 ($1m) to the families of those affected by the mass shooting in Las Vegas.
At least 59 people have been killed after a gunman opened fire on a music festival crowd in the Nevada desert.
And the mixed martial arts promoters made a donation in the wake of the tragedy.
UFC president Dana White told ESPN: "At the end of the day, this is our city. We love this place.
"The first thing when we got up this morning, everybody, personally, got it together and made sure anybody they know or love was OK.
"Then we came in here and made sure all of our employees are OK.
"Then you start thinking about this city, our hometown, and we felt we needed to do this. This is something we needed to do."
UFC offices are based in Las Vegas, and White said the company took a full count of employees on Monday.
