UFC Experience at Fanatics Fest NYC Features Gaethje, Pantoja

The UFC will host an interactive fan zone at Fanatics Fest NYC from July 16 through 18, UFC.com announced, featuring meet-and-greets with four current and former champions.

Justin Gaethje kicks off the athlete appearances on July 16, followed by flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja on July 17. Bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili and women's flyweight titleholder Alexa Grasso will each hold sessions on the final day. All meet-and-greets take place inside a regulation UFC Octagon set up at the venue.

Striking Challenge and Championship Photo Ops

Fans can test their power on a striking challenge with a live leaderboard that will track scores across the three-day event. The activation will also record scores from UFC fighters and celebrity guests participating in Fanatics Games, giving attendees a direct comparison. The experience includes photo opportunities with replica Legacy Championship belts.

A broadcast booth setup called Octagon Outbursts lets fans record their own fight call or knockout reaction, with downloadable branded videos available after the session. Exclusive Fanatics Fest merchandise will be sold throughout the weekend.

Tickets for Fanatics Fest NYC are available now through the event website. Sessions run from Thursday through Saturday at the Jacob Javits Center.
