UFC Event at Yankee Stadium in the Works

[Steve-French]

A Yankees spokesman told Newsday that they haven’t met with any officials associated with UFC and haven’t discussed a specific date but that they are “planning to meet with the promotion in the future.”

If the UFC and the Yankees can come to an agreement, it could potentially be a record-setting event for MMA. The UFC’s current attendance record is 56,214 people, but Yankee Stadium holds 54,251 and could even expand upon that number by selling seats on the field for the big event, easily breaking the MMA’s current record turnout for a single event.

They couldve done it with an undefeated Ronda and Conor defending their belts. But they dont have the star firepower to fill the stadium right now. I suppose in Dana's ideal world, it wouldve been Ronda vs Cyborg and Conor vs Lawler.

I'm not sure, but It would be pretty bad ass to watch fights in a thunder storm.

Maybe a record for North American mma.

That 54,000 doesn't even touch some pride events.

Huh?...They mentioned nothing about holding the record for an MMA event.The Article was solely referring to the UFC.

MMA is not the name of the UFC, correct?
