The UFC spends Halloween in its own backyard with UFC Fight Night: Moicano vs Nolan at Meta APEX in Las Vegas on Saturday, October 31, 2026. Doors open at 1:00 PM Pacific, the prelims start at 2:00 PM Pacific and the main card follows at 5:00 PM Pacific, headlined by a lightweight clash between ranked contenders Renato Moicano and Tom Nolan.
Moicano, the Brazilian veteran ranked No. 12 at lightweight, is one of the division’s most entertaining finishers and famously stepped in on a day’s notice to challenge for the title at UFC 311 — his blend of sharp Muay Thai and elite Brazilian jiu-jitsu makes him dangerous everywhere. Across from him, Australia’s Tom Nolan, ranked No. 14 and nicknamed “Big Train,” is a towering, heavy-handed prospect looking for the win that turns him from rising name into contender. The card also features Randy Brown vs Jacobe Smith and a Santos-vs-Santos meeting between Yana Santos and Luana Santos.

Fight Night cards at the APEX are the most intimate way to watch the UFC live anywhere in the world: the promotion’s own high-tech production facility puts a small live crowd just feet from the Octagon, with every strike audible. It is a very different experience from a sold-out arena pay-per-view — and for fight fans in Las Vegas for Halloween, it is one of the toughest tickets in town to land.
The venue: Meta APEX
Meta APEX is the UFC’s own venue and production hub at 6650 El Camino Road in southwest Las Vegas, a few minutes off the 215 Beltway. Built to broadcast fights to the world, it hosts Fight Night cards and Dana White’s Contender Series in front of a limited live audience. Seating is compact and close to the cage on every side, sightlines are clean, and the production quality — lighting, screens and sound — is built for television, which makes even prelim fights feel big.
Tickets
Tickets for UFC Fight Night on October 31, 2026 are sold through the official AXS listing for the UFC APEX. The listing does not publish a ticket price in advance, and APEX cards seat only a small crowd, so availability is limited and can go quickly — check the official AXS page for current seats and buy only through official channels to avoid counterfeit resale tickets. UFC also lists the full fight card and start times on its official event page.
Getting to Meta APEX
Meta APEX is at 6650 El Camino Road, Las Vegas, NV 89118, in the southwest valley near the UFC’s headquarters campus. It is roughly a 20-minute drive from the Strip via I-15 and the 215 Beltway, with on-site parking at the facility. Rideshare is the simplest option for most visitors — set your drop-off to the APEX address on El Camino Road and allow extra time on Halloween evening, when Las Vegas roads are at their busiest.
