Case Study: Ultimate Fighting Championship achieves enhanced, scalable access control with dormakaba (Keyscan)

Integrated Access Control Toughens UFC Security

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), a rapidly growing global sports organization, faced rising security risks as its staff and facilities expanded. UFC’s existing access control system was unreliable and lacked integration, so the organization engaged A&B Security Group and selected dormakaba’s Keyscan Access Control System to eliminate unauthorized access and consolidate multiple security functions onto a single, scalable platform.

A&B Security Group installed dormakaba’s Keyscan with single‑ and multi‑door control panels to manage 50 doors across six buildings, integrating existing readers, IP cameras and intrusion panels. Keyscan’s web client, visitor management and photo‑badging modules gave UFC remote administration, streamlined visitor handling, and the ability to cancel lost card credentials instead of rekeying—improving reliability, saving time, and providing a scalable solution now being used for UFC’s new mega‑facility.
