The first numbers have rolled in for UFC’s return to pay per view, as 300,000 people have been estimated to buy UFC 227 on August 4th.
The show headlined by TJ Dillashaw knocking out Cody Garbrandt to retain the bantamweight title and Henry Cejudo taking the flyweight title from Demetrious Johnson, was estimated at 300,000 buys and drew the largest live crowd in for the UFC at Staples Center.

They're not out yet but - looking at that card, if it did more than 300k buys - I'll eat a fucking sneaker.
Every ship needs a good captain - and now that Lorenzo has departed - this ship is in hella stormy waters.
I think Duane Ludwig said it best: "An entertainment company trying to run a fight company".
What is its future?
Good question.
The return of McGregor - you can be sure PPV numbers will skyrocket for that fight - but beyond that - what do?
I cannot fathom they actually marketed that card as PPV.
To me, it's not much more than a fight night card.
I think what Lorenzo understood best - that WME don't, and Dana definitely doesn't - is that, you can't build a card on talent.
It takes talent - but it also takes - character.
Dillashaw was the only solid draw on that card.
