Sooner or later, the joyride had to end.
After an ambitious world tour that saw the Ultimate Fighting Championship plant its flag on four different continents in five weeks, filling arenas from Abu Dhabi to Rio de Janeiro, the promotion is set to spend two weeks in the friendly confines of its Apex facility in Las Vegas before hitting the road one last time to finish out the year.
