The numbers make it the third-watched UFC event in the venue.

UFC on Versus 1 in March 2010:  Attendance: 6,443, Gate $568,125

UFC Fight Night 60 in February 2015: Attendance 5,807, Gate $382,875

In addition, Benson Henderson, Brandon Thatch, Neil Magny and Ray Borg earned the bonuses of the night.  Henderson and Thatch won Fight of the Night while Many and Borg won for their respective stoppages.  Henderson (with toothpick in mouth) did sub Thatch with a rear naked choke.

Payout Perspective:

Kenny Florian defeated Joe Lauzon at the first event in Broomfield, Colorado.  It also was the first meeting between Gray Maynard and Frankie Edgar. One might recall that UFC on Versus 1 introduced us to Jon Jones as it appeared he broke Brandon Vera’s face.  The attendance and gate are quite low but it was “Fight of the Night” card which usually does not feature top-UFC talent.  Of course, the insertion of Henderson to the card helped.  Obviously holding a card on Valentine’s Day night may have hurt the attendance as well.
