UFC 129 is still two months away, but it has already obliterated North American records for ticket sales and gate.
The promotion confirmed that Toronto’s Rogers Centre was reconfigured from 42,000 to meet extra demand, yet fans snapped up tickets in record numbers. The final tally was 55,000 seats sold.
The old record for paid attendance was just set in December 2010, when 23,152 filled Montreal’s Bell Centre.
