UFC Apex: 5 things you need to know about the UFC's state-of-the-art setup

#4. The UFC Apex is right next to the UFC Performance Institute

This is one of the most important points in our discussion, so I need you to bear with me while I get the numbers out of the way. It’s common knowledge in the MMA world that the UFC Performance Institute (PI) in Enterprise, Nevada, is one of the world’s premier training institutes for combat sports athletes. UFC fighters are given the opportunity to train at the UFC PI and have often spoken about how amazing the facility truly is.

The UFC Apex has been built on a sprawling 130,000 sq ft piece of land that the UFC acquired right next to the Performance Institute. About half of the land has been used for the arena and production space. Approximately 50,000 sq ft comprises the octagon area, arena surrounding it, the production area, entrances, etc.

UFC President Dana White had notably given the media a tour of the Apex facility in 2019. But when we are to look beyond the numbers while discussing the Apex, what stands out is White and the UFC’s pure genius.

Dana White had asserted that fighters will be able to train in the PI as well as at the gym housed in the Apex facility. This is very significant, primarily because of the fact that if two fighters who are preparing to face one another want to access the UFC’s greatest training facilities, they have an option to train at different UFC gyms housed in the PI and the Apex.
