In addition to today’s announcement of fighter’s headed to Sydney, Australia for UFC 110; the organization also confirmed that the event is the second fastest sellout in their 16-year history.
All 16,500 tickets for the Acer Arena were sold out on the first day of sale (December 11th) placing UFC 110 behind only UFC 83, held in Montreal, Canada in April 2008.
“We knew we had an unbelievably passionate fanbase in Australia, but we are blown away by the speed of the sell-out,” said UFC Managing Director of International Development Marshall Zelaznik. “We had a massive uptake of tickets to the Australian members of our Fight Club and newsletter readers, and tickets were completely gone within hours of going on sale to the public.”
Zelaznik added: “What is even more incredible is that we completely sold out without even confirming a single fight on the card.”
Headlined by Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Cain Velasquez, and Wanderlei Silva vs. Michael Bisping, UFC 110 will also feature Australian George Sotiropolous vs. Joe Stevenson and an all-Aussie battle between Elvis Sinosic and Chris Haseman.
UFC 110 will take place at the Acer Arena in Sydney Australia on Sunday, February 21 (airing in the U.S. on Saturday, February 20).
