Just when it appeared the UFC was making a more full-fledged effort to hit the road, the promotion has locked down four more dates at the UFC Apex for late spring into early summer.
On Tuesday, the Nevada Athletic Commission officially approved five program permits for the promotion to hold events in its jurisdiction over a seven-week period. The only event of the bunch outside the UFC Apex is the International Fight Week pay-per-view at T-Mobile Arena.
With the additions to the 2023 calendar, the promotion will have held 10 of its first 23 events of the year at the UFC Apex and two at T-Mobile Arena.
