The ultimate fan experience!

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is returning home for the UFC Fan Expo 2013, which will coincide with the promotion's annual Fourth of July weekend event on July 5-6 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

As with any UFC Fan Expo, you can expect meet and greets with legendary UFC, PRIDE FC and Strikeforce fighters, mixed martial arts (MMA) demonstrations, grappling "Super Fights," fan-inspired special events, training and development sessions, as well as other combat related opportunities and entertainment.

The exhibit floor will also feature apparel, electronic gaming, food & beverages, fight gear, fitness equipment and supplies, nutritional supplements and lifestyle products from over 150 leading vendors.

Here is the UFC Fan Expo 2013 ticket sales schedule:

Friday only ticket for July 5: $40.00

Saturday only ticket for July 6: $45.00

Two-day ticket for July 5-6: $60.00

VIP ticket: $200

Ultimate UFC VIP ticket: $2,500

Please note the above prices are for "early birds" and they are expected to increase as we get closer to the event. And, as anyone who has been to one of these things can attest, it's damn near impossible to see and do it all in one day, so opt for the two-day ticket, if possible.

To purchase tickets for the UFC Fan Expo 2013 click here, and don't forget, the festivities will include the UFC 162: "Silva vs. Weidman" weigh in event on Friday night (July 5). Headlined by a middleweight title fight featuring Anderson Silva vs. Chris Weidman, the Expo will continue all day Saturday (July 6) up until the first fight gets underway.
