Athlete performance center built as the heart of new UFC campus

A portion of the UFC’s local workforce of 250 people might eat lunch in the company’s cafeteria on any given day with a view of someone like lightweight champion Conor McGregor shadowboxing on the training turf just outside.

From another vantage point, an employee might look up from his or her computer to spy women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes pulling a power sled on an Olympic-style sprint track. Virtually every spot of the UFC’s new corporate office, situated off Jones Boulevard and the 215 Beltway in the southwest valley, comes equipped with sight lines into the campus’ centerpiece — a performance institute for fighters.
