UFC adds four more Meta Apex events to 2026 schedule

The UFC has expanded its 2026 schedule at the Meta Apex venue in Las Vegas with four additional events approved by the Nevada Athletic Commission. The new cards are scheduled for September 29, October 10, October 31, and November 7, which would bring the venue's total for the year to 12 events—matching the 2025 total.

Two events already have main events announced. Raoni Barcelos will face Raul Rosas Jr. at UFC Fight Night 289 on September 29, pitting a veteran against one of the sport's brightest young prospects. The November 7 UFC Fight Night will feature a pivotal welterweight clash between Gabriel Bonfim and Sean Brady.

Main event matchups for the October 10 and October 31 cards remain unannounced, though undercard bouts have been revealed. The October 10 card will include Andre Fili vs. Kai Kamaka III, Lupita Godinez vs. Ketlen Souza, Malcolm Wellmaker vs. Otari Tanzilovi, and Matheus Camilo vs. Jai Herbert. The October 31 card features Julian Erosa vs. Jeong Yeong Lee, Francis Marshall vs. Gaston Bolanos, Yana Santos vs. Luana Santos, and Andre Petroski vs. Azamat Bekoev. The UFC is expected to finalize main events for the two October shows in due course.
