UFC Apex is a live events and production center in Enterprise, Nevada, operated and owned by the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).[1] The facility was chosen in part due to its close proximity to the UFC Performance Institute, which serves as the company headquarters and is located across the street. The Apex was built to host live events as well as studio shows.[2]

History[]

The facility was officially opened on June 18, 2019.[3] In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, following three events in Jacksonville, all U.S.-based UFC events were held at the Apex behind closed doors.[4][5][6] Today, the Apex remains the home for all non-PPV UFC events, and now allows for limited public spectators. The Octagon at the Apex is notable for being smaller than the Octagon used at all other UFC events, with 25-foot width rather than the usual 30-feet. For context, the Octagon at all other events has an area 44% larger than the Octagon at the Apex. Early fight data at the Apex and fan speculation have suggested the smaller Octagon size has resulted in higher-volume and faster-pace striking fights, along with more finishes.[7][8]
