The UFC APEX By The Numbers
See All The Interesting Stats That Have Happened Since The UFC APEX Opened Its Doors.
When the UFC made the move in 2018 to purchase a second building that was adjacent to the UFC headquarters in Las Vegas, they had no idea just how important that purchase would turn out to be.
Initially, the fully functional event space opened in 2019, moving Dana White’s Contender Series and The Ultimate Fighter to the UFC APEX. But when things ramped up during the COVID-19 pandemic, the UFC APEX became the center of the UFC universe.
Since 2020, the UFC APEX has hosted an incredible number of high-profile events, adapting between various COVID protocols and Nevada State Athletic Commission regulations. As a matter of fact, with 56, no venue in the world has had more UFC events.
