UFC officials announced the attendance, gate and bonuses from UFC Fight Night 108 from Nashville, Tennessee. The event drew the second-highest attendance and gate in events in Nashville.
UFC Fight Night 108 drew 10,144 fans for a gate of $755,180. The event took place at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. The multi-purpose venue varies in maximum capacity from 17,000-20,000 depending on the event.
The $50,000 bonuses handed out for UFC Fight Night 108 went to Cub Swanson, Artem Lobov, Mike Perry and Brandon Moreno. The main event of Swanson-Lobov drew the Fight of the Night while Perry and Moreno earned Performance of the Night bonuses.
It was the second-highest attendance of the four UFC events held in Nashville but the largest grossing of the four. The last time an event was held in Nashville prior to Saturday night was UFC Fight Night 73 in April 2015.
The attendance is on par with other Fight Nights and was helped by having local UFC fighters on the card.
Good attendance for sure, but does that seem like a low gate for that many thousands of patrons?
Considering the headliner, these are good numbers.
Wil – they kept the tickets cheap which is smart. Better to pack the place and maybe leave some money on the table than set the ticket prices high and risk having the arena half filled. They also didn’t have a lot of drawing power.
