(H/t: MMA Junkie).
The attendance and gate did not reveal the number of comps. The Bok Center, where the event was held, holds up to 19,199 although the configuration for the UFC event was not revealed. The event outdrew UFC Fight Night 48 by 97.
Payout Perspective:
The returning Saunders showed us that the Eddie Bravo “mission control” technique works with the first ever oomaplata submission as he subbed Chris Heatherly. The attendance for both events fared better than last weekend’s UFC Fight Night 47. UFC FN 49’s attendance and gate is lower than June’s regional fight nights in New Mexico and San Antonio but appears to be par for the course with these events.
HHahahahahaha…would be bigger than soccer hHaha
topps is desperate!!! Look at him squirm!! He’s a sinking ship!!
It looks like 7k is the new 20k for attendance! Ouch dam bang pretty soon they will be doing ufc fights in high school gyms or back in hotels those numbers are horrable
The ufc needs to make a plan for 2015 or they will be a whatever happened to segment on some crappy show!
Qweef can’t tell between fight night and a PPV lol.
Jason I would t say Bravos mission control(not his anyway) allows the Oma plata to work. This was an unknown bum. For all we know he would tap to anything. Not exactly a proven commodity.
SalDAQUEEF!!!!
Shit for smashed brains, We all can tell the difference between a complete failure and a success other then being retarded and stupid what is you excuse?
What is your excuse Sal for being such a prag for Bob Arum, you little homo?
