- Says he thought it'd be one of the biggest of 2019, turns out its THE biggest of the year
- Says its the biggest event they've ever done with ESPN ever
Could be Dana throwing out lies so the event seems bigger than it really is, but there's not much of a reason to think he's lying. To put into perspective what that means, we've had several pretty big cards this year.
1. UFC 235 in March

$4,000,000 gate - 650,000 PPV buys (Old model)
2. UFC 239 in July

$6,000,000 gate PPV Buys unknown because of ESPN+
3. UFC 241 in August

$3,200,000 gate PPV buys unknown
4. UFC 242 in September

PPV buys & Gate unknown. Happened in what seemed to be a 5,000 seat capacity arena.
If this event is really out-doing cards headlined by Jon Jones, Stipe / DC, and Khabib, does this mean...

Nate Diaz is currently the 2nd biggest draw in the UFC behind Conor? Jorge blew up recently but I think it's fair to say Nate is definitely the A-side. He made the belt happen as well.
