UFC Eyes Major Las Vegas Campus Expansion With Hotel, Possible WWE Space

UFC is laying the groundwork for a major expansion of its Las Vegas home base, with company leadership confirming that a hotel, additional space tied to sister promotion WWE, and possible collaborations with other sports and entertainment organizations are all on the table. UFC senior executive vice president and chief operating officer Lawrence Epstein detailed the plans, saying a formal master plan for the property is currently being developed.

The land in question sits just north of the 215 Beltway between Jones and Rainbow boulevards, an area where UFC already owns roughly 70 acres. So far, only the UFC headquarters, its Performance Institute, and the Meta Apex facility have been built out on that footprint, leaving about 35 acres still undeveloped and available for future projects.

What Could Be Coming to the Campus

Epstein said the organization is exploring a hotel component along with expanded space connected to WWE, UFC’s sister promotion under the TKO Group Holdings umbrella. “We’re currently in the process of developing a master plan for this facility, which will include hopefully a lot of things, including … a hotel, expansion with our TKO partner WWE, maybe additional collaborations with other sports and entertainment organizations here in Las Vegas,” Epstein said.

Details on what a WWE-branded expansion might look like remain unclear. WWE currently runs its own performance center out of Orlando, Florida, and it is not yet known whether any Las Vegas footprint would serve a similar training or production purpose or take a different shape entirely, such as event or office space. UFC officials indicated they hope to unveil more concrete plans for the campus in the coming months.

Vegas Continues to Anchor UFC and TKO’s Footprint

The potential build-out underscores how central Las Vegas remains to UFC’s operations and to TKO’s broader combat sports and entertainment strategy. The Meta Apex facility already hosts UFC events along with other TKO-affiliated combat sports, and further development on the surrounding acreage would deepen that concentration of infrastructure in one location rather than spreading new facilities elsewhere.

For fans and bettors who follow the promotion closely, an expanded Las Vegas campus would reinforce the city’s status as the sport’s operational and cultural center, sitting alongside the countless UFC pay-per-views and Fight Night cards already staged on the Strip each year. As with any card in Las Vegas, bettors will want to keep an eye on how sportsbook markets shape up once fight week odds are posted for upcoming events, something readers can track through the latest DraftKings promo code offers as more fight cards get announced.

No timeline beyond “the next several months” has been given for when UFC will share finalized details, and the company has not disclosed a budget or construction timeline for any of the potential additions.
