The records will fall at Saturday's UFC 124 event.

During today's pre-event press conference, UFC president Dana White said both the North American MMA attendance and worldwide MMA gate records will be broken with the show.

The UFC boss said Montreal's Bell Centre will draw more than 23,000 fans and produce a gate of more than $5 million for the heavily anticipated show.

Both marks also will break the UFC's current records. They're currently held by UFC 97 in Montreal (21,451 attendees) and UFC 66 in Las Vegas ($5,397,300 live gate).

The Toronto card will crush this.

6

I think Shockwave did 90,000 in Japan. Not even close to that yet.

7

I'm sure there will be records broken for illegal streams, too


lulz

8

Didn't the K1 card in LA have more people than that?

9

Shockewave did 75K attendance if I recall.

The gate was not 5 Million though. That will be a legit record.

 I believe the records reference are for MMA in North America.

Slowly approaching Pride numbers. Phone Post

"...worldwide MMA gate records will be broken with the show."

Wordldwide for the UFC maybe. Not even close to Pride numbers. I doubt we'll ever see numbers like that in the states.
