The UFC Apex once saved the promotion during the COVID-19 Pandemie and brought them every success, but now the reputation has changed completely and fans are getting tired of it.
During the COVID-19 Pandemie, the UFC, when there were no live sports, was one of the few promotions in the world that continued to do events and they could do this because of the top.
Some monumental fights in recent years have taken place in the warehouse, such as Francis Ngannou's title profit against Stipe Miocic, for the pension fight of Daniel Cormier in the UFC.
However, since the end of the Pandemie, the UFC has continued to put events from the relatively empty warehouse and it is now apparently to take its toll on the fan base.

Mark Shapiro offers a damn update on UFC Apex events
In the years after the pandemic, UFC boss, Dana White claimed that the promotion would consistently go on the road and organize events in different states, cities and countries.
Nevertheless, since 2020 the APEX organized 110 events and even in 2024 he organized 17 events in the boring location.
Because three events have already been from the top this year, the location undergoes a renovation of $ 25 million with more seats, bathrooms and hospitality, which shows that they have no plans to completely remove APEX events.
And with that, TKO President, Mark Shapiro recently gave an update on Apex events, which was quite damn for the fans.
“If you watch TV, you can't say whether you are in a stadium or an arena or you are at the small but powerful top we have in Vegas,” said Shapiro (H/T Mmaonpoint).

Shapiro also claimed that the UFC could increase their income if they toured less and organized more events at the top, who made fans nervous.
Which events are planned at the UFC Apex?
Fortunately, despite the fact that the top will not be completely abolished, the promotion appears to reduce the amount of events organized there.
On March 15, Roman Dolidze will take on Marvin Vettori in an epic rematch of their war in London in 2023 and it will take place in the borders of the top.
Dan, on April 5, unbeaten featherweight competition Lerone Murphy seems to score the biggest victory of his career so far when he takes on Josh Emmett in the Vegas warehouse.
