UFC 240 took place Saturday night in Edmonton, Alberta Canada. The promotion awarded its $50,000 bonuses which included two Performance Bonuses and a Fight of the Night.
Deiveson Figueiredo’s victory over Alexandre Pantoja drew Saturday’s Fight of the Night as the two flyweights put on a show on the Prelims which aired on ESPN. In addition, Geoff Neal won a Performance Bonus for his second-round stoppage over Niko Price. Also, Hakeen Dawodu stopped Yoshinori Horie in the last minute of the final round of their fight on the Prelims.
The event drew $1.4 million (U.S) and 12,144 from Rogers Place. The numbers were announced post-fight by the UFC.
The main event saw Max Holloway successfully defend his Featherweight title against Frankie Edgar.
Payout Perspective:
The Prelims produced a lot of the action Saturday with Figueiredo-Pantoja and Dawodu’s KO. The attendance and gate were very good although we don’t know the amount of comps for the event. Still, a pretty nice showing from the Canadian crowd.
