A VIP Experience At UFC Vegas 98 Tops A Four-Day Trip To Remember Forever

Note: This is a first-person opinion piece about the live, in person experience fans can expect when attending a UFC APEX card.

UFC Vegas 98 wrapped up Saturday night at the UFC APEX, but it was more than just any UFC event for me. It was my 12th in-person UFC event since 2008 and arguably one of my favorite shows I have attended thus far.

My trip lasted four days – arriving Thursday afternoon and returning home Sunday night. The primary focus of the trip was UFC-related, with those events beginning Friday afternoon.

UFC HQ Tour

The first leg of the trip saw me stop by UFC headquarters, where I was greeted by promotional employees and connections I had made since my previous Las Vegas trip in July 2021 for UFC 264. I had a look at a mock-up of the UFC campus, its inspiration for expansion and the cafeteria. Fighters have all their essentials covered between training sessions with a primary focus on breakfast and lunch. Each fighter has their own dietary needs and can receive any resource they might need.

After going through the cafeteria, I was taken to the editing bank where a good majority of UFC Fight Pass content is produced. Then it was time for a look at the Performance Institute.
