UFC chief business officer Hunter Campbell sent out a memo on Tuesday revealing that fighters will receive four seats to “watch their fight only” at the Las Vegas facility. The policy will begin with Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 240 card. MMAjunkie.com was first to report the news.

“Beginning with UFC Fight Night this Saturday, April 6, athletes who compete on cards at UFC Apex will receive four (4) seats for friends and family to watch their fight only,” Campbell wrote in the memo. “Following the bout, your guests will be escorted out of Apex. This practice will be in effect for all events at UFC Apex going forward.
“UFC Event Operations VIP Hosts will coordinate all details with you during fighter check-in of your respective fight weeks at the host hotel. All details will be provided, including specific arrival times for your guests.”
While fighters’ friends and family members would often receive complimentary tickets when the UFC traveled, this had not typically been the policy for Apex events in the past. As a result, that led to loved ones reportedly paying high prices to attend these fights.
UFC Fight Night 240 takes place on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The card features 13 bouts, including a middleweight headliner pitting Brendan Allen against Chris Curtis.
