Apex improvements are making a big difference. Even with the camera angles. A welcomed improvement! Question is though: Via @arielhelwani on X

What happened: Ariel Helwani said the venue changes have improved camera angles and the overall presentation. He placed Apex cards behind numbered events and road Fight Nights but ahead of DWCS in UFC's event hierarchy.

Why it matters: The ranking frames Apex cards as a distinct, lower tier of UFC programming. Sustained attendance would show whether the renovations can narrow the atmosphere gap with road events.

What to watch: UFC Vegas 120 at Meta APEX on Saturday provides the next test of the renovated venue.
