You would have to go back to the dark days of UFC to find such poor paid attendance. Fitting that Tito Ortiz was the headliner. Maybe UFC needs to cut back on the price of admission here in the states, they had to comp a shitload of tickets for 104 as well and to have a showing like that in their own backyard Las Vegas, probably means they are charging a bit too much. The fact that the gate was that high with such a low number of paid attendees is pretty telling of that

LOL @ Serra that is hilarious.


I agree the ticket prices are to much. Even the cheapest seats are like 75-100. I wont even pay 45 for the PPV.

Yeah, the UFC needs to cut back its number of shows or add more fighters. Their cards have been OK, but nothing spectacular. I think 107 will be pretty Great, though I would prefer to watch Wilson vs Gouviea over Buentello vs Struve. But that is gonna be a great card!

my prediction for fight of the night Florian vs Guida. The Caveman vs The Professor!

Were charging 4 grand for cage side seats here in Dallas at UFC 103 and gave away a bunch of tickets there as well, I was working that night but my friends got free ones. Uncle got in at UFC 102 in Portland cause they gave away a bunch there too
They are simply getting to greedy to quick, charging to much.
