UFC 219 ended 2017 with a reported 13,561 attending for a gate of $1.76 million. The main event also was deemed Fight of the Night with Cris “Cyborg” Justino pulling off the unanimous decision over Holly Holm.
The official gate per UFC officials (via MMA Junkie) was $1,760,628.74. The event pales in comparison to last December’s UFC 207 which 18,533 for a live gate of $4.75 million. Of course, that event featured the return of Ronda Rousey.
The bonuses of the night went to Cyborg-Holm for Fight of the Night. Khabib Nurmogomedov and Tim Elliott drew the Performance Bonus. Each earned $50,000. The return of the “Eagle” was impressive as he buried Edson Barboza.
