The UFC has officially added four more Meta APEX events to its late 2026 schedule.

On Tuesday, the Nevada Athletic Commission approved Sept. 29, Oct. 10, Oct. 31, and Nov. 7 event permits for the promotion to hold shows at its home venue. The NAC vote took place at a monthly meeting in Las Vegas.

Should the quartet of recently approved cards be the last Meta APEX events of the year, it will have meant the UFC held 12 cards at the venue in 2026, matching its total from 2025.

The first of the four events (Sept. 29) will be headlined by Raoni Barcelos vs. Raul Rosas Jr. The final of the four (Nov. 7) has a main event of Sean Brady vs. Gabriel Bonfim. Neither Oct. 10 nor Oct. 31 have publicly known main events at this time.
