UFC event a closed shop

The UFC is holding its next fight show without fans or media members in attendance, and the mixed martial arts promotion isn’t saying why. The UFC will stage a 13-bout Fight Night card at the Apex Gym on its corporate campus in Las Vegas tomorrow, but no fans or reporters will be there. The UFC has held regular televised cards at the gym since the coronavirus pandemic, but has typically allowed in groups of fans and media. It is believed Mark Zuckerberg, the Facebook cofounder and Meta chief executive officer, has ‘‘rented out the whole event.’’
