Las Vegas-based UFC has ambitious plans for a new high-powered 120,000-square-feet production studio and arena facility that UFC President Dana White envisions hosting everything from live fights and broadcast content to concerts and comedy shows.

On Monday, White plans to give a tour to media of the new UFC APEX at the MMA fight organizer headquarters near Jones Boulevard and the 215 beltway in the southwest valley.

UFC will film Dana White’s Contender Series at the UFC APEX, which is next to the UFC headquarters and Performance Institute.
