The main event of UFC Fight Night 110 drew Fight of the Night bonuses as Mark Hunt and Derrick Lewis led the list of $50,000 bonus winners. In addition Ben Nguyen and Dan Hooker scored Performance of the Night victories.
The attendance, gate and bonuses were announced post-event by the UFC.
The event took place in Auckland, New Zealand and it was Mark Hunt’s first pro MMA bout in his home country. He earned a stoppage win against Derrick Lewis in the 4th Round of their 5-round bout. Nguyen upset Tim Elliott with a rear-naked choke in the first round. Maybe most impressive was Dan Hooker’s knee to Ross Pearson’s chin which earned him the victory.
The event took place at the Spark Arena in Auckland, New Zealand and drew 8,649 for a live gate of $1,150,428 NZD (almost $830,000 U.S.) per MMA Junkie.
It was the UFC’s second time in New Zealand as it came to the country in 2014. UFC Fight Night 43 drew 8,098 in attendance with a live gate of $1.04 million New Zealand dollars which equates to approximately $913,000 U.S. dollars.
Payout Perspective:
Derek Brunson and Vinc Pichel could have earned a $50,00 bonus as well but no complaints on Hooker or Nguyen. The event numbers are on par with the UFC’s last visit. It was an entertaining night of fights with a lot of stoppages.
