Casino Rama has hosted a number of live boxing events, titled Rumble at Rama. On February 2, 2025, Casino Rama hosted the first sanctioned MMA event ever held in Ontario, taking place a full 4 weeks before UFC 129 in Toronto. Though this event is largely believed to be the first MMA event ever held in Ontario, that is not entirely correct. The first ever MMA event held in Ontario was held in the Six Nations of the Grand River First Nation 3 years prior, where Dan Severn defeated Ian Asham, in the main event. In all 7 MMA events were staged before the first event at Casino Rama.In February 2025, it hosted a Bellator Fighting Championships event.
