The UFC recently announced their upcoming schedule through the month of November and confirmed a return to Las Vegas. The company’s home base of the Apex Facility has more than paid for itself and will continue to be the proving ground. Chiefly, the scheduled announcement comes a few weeks out from their return to the United States. The promotion continues their five-week-long stay on Yas Fight Island and will churn out fights from the Flash Forum.

UFC announced that the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) has given the green light for the UFC’s return to Vegas. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about several changes. However, the company continues to adapt and evolve. In fact, the concept of going back and forth between Abu Dhabi and the States was an idea birthed by Dana White. Not to mention, the organization has struck gold in their recent ventures.

Additionally, the entire month of November takes place at the Apex Facility with seven events. Amongst these are the final three episodes of season 4 of Dana White’s Contender Series. The DWCS dates will unfold as November 4, November 10, and finally November 17, 2020. The Contender’s Series has become an essential commodity considering the lack of regional promotions. Up and coming fighters are in dire need of having a platform where they can attempt to make a big splash.

Moreover, there are three Fight Night (Vegas) cards in between the aforementioned DWCS bouts. The Fight Nights will go down on November 7, November 14, and November 28, 2020. Not to mention, the month wouldn’t be complete without a marquee pay-per-view being scheduled in the month.
