Payout Perspective:
It was the lowest output for attendance this year and definitely the smallest event thus far in 2017. The card was reminiscent of September 2016’s Hidalgo, Texas card. A smaller mid-west UFC show which doesn’t garner a lot of attendance. As with most Fight Night cards, there were several up-and-comer fighters to watch but definitely a card for the hardcore UFC fans.
