The sporting capital has done it again.
Tickets for UFC 234, headlined by Aussie middleweight champion Robert Whittaker against Kelvin Gastelum, have sold out in a UFC-record eight minutes. It’s the third time in a row Australia has sold out a UFC event.
Rod Laver Arena will be at maximum capacity on February 10 for the exciting card that also features MMA legend Anderson Silva against unbeaten rising star Israel Adesanya in the co-main.
Australia also holds the record for the largest MMA event in UFC history, when 56,214 fans saw Holly Holm defeat Ronda Rousey at UFC 193 at Marvel Stadium.
“Melbourne has proven once again why it is known as the sports capital of Australia, if not the world,” David Shaw, UFC Senior Vice President International and Content said.
“In 2015 we smashed records with our debut event in Victoria, UFC 193: Rousey v Holm, and now we are thrilled to see continued success in selling out UFC 234: Whittaker vs. Gastelum in record time.
“With what will be an exceptional fight card and Australia’s Robert Whittaker defending his UFC middleweight belt for the first time on home soil, UFC 234 will be an unmissable event.
“Those fans not lucky enough to join us at Rod Laver Arena can join the rest of the world watching the action from the Octagon live on Pay-Per-View.”
Let's pay homage to the fans down under.
