UFC Adds Four More Apex Events To 2026 Schedule

The UFC has added four more Meta Apex events to close out its 2026 schedule.

According to Sherdog, the Nevada Athletic Commission granted permits for cards on Sept. 29, Oct. 10, Oct. 31, and Nov. 7 at the Las Vegas facility. Two of those dates already have headliners locked in, while the October cards are still waiting on main event announcements.

Rosas Jr. And Brady Headline Confirmed Cards

The Sept. 29 card will feature bantamweight prospect Raul Rosas Jr. against veteran Raoni Barcelos at UFC Fight Night 289. Gabriel Bonfim and Sean Brady will headline the Nov. 7 event in a pivotal welterweight clash.

The Oct. 10 and Oct. 31 cards have undercard fights confirmed but no announced headliners yet. Bouts scheduled for the Oct. 10 event include Andre Fili vs. Kai Kamaka III, Lupita Godinez vs. Ketlen Souza, and Malcolm Wellmaker vs. Otari Tanzilovi. The Oct. 31 card features Julian Erosa vs. Jeong Yeong Lee, Francis Marshall vs. Gaston Bolanos, and Yana Santos vs. Luana Santos.

With these additions, the promotion will have staged 12 Meta Apex events in 2026, matching last year's total at the venue.
