80,000 is a lot, I went to ufc 171 and that was like 19,000. Cant imagine what that would be like

They will sell out Croke Park which can hold 80,000 not including the pitch tickets.It would easily sell out in under an hour if UFC was to come back to Ireland.
The issue is often though that a stadium will only be licenced for a certain attendance so even if pitch tickets can potentially increase capacity they don't always do so.
One advantage either Croke Park or the Aviva stadium would have is that they both have one end of the ground that's a lot smaller. That means you could stick the cage at the other higher capacity end to keep the fans closer to the action and not lose out on a great deal of seating. Crokes seating would be further from the cage though as the pitch is a gaelic football pitch is a good deal wider than a soccer pitch.
