UFC Fight Night 123 drew 7,605 fans for a gate of $528,290. Brian Ortega was the star of the night earning two bonuses for his main event submission over Cub Swanson.
Ortega and Swanson received a bonus for Fight of the Night. Ortega received another for his submission victory in round 2. Marlon Moraes drew the other $50,000 bonus of the night for his devastating knee of Aljamain Sterling.
The first UFC event from Fresno drew 7,605 fans at the SaveMart Center. The reported gate, according to UFC officials, was 568,290.
Payout Perspective:
The SaveMart Center was far from a sellout as the capacity for boxing/wrestling events is 16,182. But, with the Fight Night event, these are the types of attendances to expect. Notably, the attendance is the same as UFC Fight Night 112 from Oklahoma earlier this year. The UFC may have found another fighter to put into the mix for Max Holloway’s title as Brian Ortega put on another great performance.
