Payout Perspective:
Fans are happy that the UFC is traveling once again as they are flocking back to see the company as it heads around the U.S. this summer. Dates in Long Island, Dallas, Salt Lake City and San Diego should be sold out. The UFC is rewarding fighters for finishing fights by bonusing all the fighters that deliver a crowd-satisfying end.
