MMA Junkie reports the attendance, gate and bonuses from UFC Fight Night 92 from Salt Lake City, Utah.
The event drew 6,689 fans for a live gate of $481,033. The numbers were provided to MMA Junkie post-fight by the UFC. The arena, home to the Utah Jazz, houses 20,000. It did better than the Sioux Falls, South Dakota Fight Night last month and UFC Fight Night 88 in Las Vegas (4,193, $359,000) this past Memorial Day weekend.
In addition, the $50,000 bonuses went to Yair Rodriguez and Alex Caceres for Fight of the Night. Marcin Tybura and Teruto Ishihara earned Performance of the Night bonuses.
Payout Perspective:
The event bested Sioux Falls, South Dakota’s attendance and gate in terms of Fight Night attendance in new cities this year. There was much of a draw for the MMA fans so the allure of a UFC-branded event was the pull to attend.
bet that a better gate than andre ward did weekend in his snorefest on hbo
off night for the UFC, one wonders if the location equaled much lower ticket prices, which I would conjecture to be true. Didnt even know it was on myself. Some cards they push, some they dont. Im sure cards like this are more for the locals and the die hards than the casuals. UFC is star driven just like boxing.
