The UFC Apex facility gets its official opening night Tuesday in Las Vegas.
The third season of Dana White’s Contender Series will be the first event to take place at the new venue, which was built adjacent to the UFC’s headquarters in Las Vegas.
The building is 130,000 square feet and includes more than 50,000 feet of production space and in excess of 70,000 feet of office space, according to a news release from the UFC.
Not only will the facility have the ability to host live MMA events, like the weekly DWCS show, but it can be reconfigured for other sports, concerts, or be converted to a sound stage.
The building also has a control room that will allow the UFC’s production staff to produce events from all over the world without leaving Las Vegas.
“UFC Apex is going to be a massive game changer for combat sports and for UFC,” UFC president Dana White stated. “This facility gives us the flexibility to try new things and push the envelope on producing and distributing combat sports all over the world. We are limited only by my imagination. When you think of where we started and where we are now, it’s pretty incredible, but we haven’t even scratched the surface of how big this will become.”
