The UFC APEX, a venue where the top MMA promotion has hosted a majority of its events since 2020, has undergone a name change.
The Las Vegas studio will now be referred to as the Meta Apex, named after the Meta Platforms tech company.
Meta obtained naming rights to the venue as part of a five-year deal they struck recently, UFC CEO Dana White announced on Wednesday.

The Meta Apex has become an essential building in recent years for the UFC and many of its surrounding brands.
When the COVID-19 pandemic started in 2020, UFC shifted most of its events to the intimate venue. Now, over five years later, the building continues to be utilized by the company, including for a Fight Night card next month.
UFC also uses the Apex for programming like The Ultimate Fighter and Dana White’s Contender Series.
UFC BJJ, Power Slap, and Street League Skateboarding have all graced the venue for events in the past. Later this month, the debuting Zuffa Boxing brand will present its first-ever numbered card inside the Apex.
UFC already had ties to Meta prior to this deal, as White was appointed to the company’s board of directors in 2025.
