Are you planning on going to see “the biggest fight in MMA history” live and in person on October 6th? Well then get ready to shell out some cash.<\/p>\n

Everyone in MMA wants to see Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor<\/a> finally settle the score. And the UFC is aware of this as they’re going to try and capitalize on it in all ways to make it a success.<\/p>\n

Which includes profiting, of coures.<\/p>\n

Today the UFC revealed the ticket prices for UFC 229 per\u00a0Brett Okamoto<\/a>\u00a0and they will be a bit higher priced than a regular event…<\/p>\n

The prices for tickets will include the following from highest to lowest (not including fees): $2505, $2005, $1505, $1005, $755, $555, $405, $355, $305, $255, $205. Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10:00 AM PST.<\/p>\n

For comparison sake,\u00a0McGregor’s last two fights which came against Nate Diaz<\/a> in their rematch at UFC 202 and Eddie Alvarez for the lightweight title in Madison Square Garden at UFC 205 had the following ticket prices.<\/p>\n

UFC 202: $1292, $880, $674, $520, $365, $211<\/p>\n

UFC 205: $1250, $750, $600, $450, $300, $200, $100<\/p>\n

Both UFC 202 and UFC 229 were and will be held in Las Vegas at the T-Mobile Arena. With McGregor’s undeniable popularity and return against arguably his toughest foe to date, it will be very interesting to see if the UFC can manage a sellout here.<\/p>\n

As for the rest of the card, it’s still having fights added to it but at the moment it looks like this:<\/p>\n

Heavyweight – 207-265lbs: Alexander Volkov vs. Derrick Lewis<\/em><\/p>\n

Bantamweight – 135lbs: Sean O’Malley vs. Jos\u00e9 Alberto Qui\u00f1\u00f3nez<\/em><\/p>\n

Welterweight – 170lbs: Ryan LaFlare vs. Tony Martin<\/em><\/p>\n

Bantamweight: Lina L\u00e4nsberg vs. Yana Kunitskaya<\/em><\/p>\n

Flyweight – 125lbs: Sergio Pettis vs. Jussier Formiga<\/em><\/p>\n

Light heavyweight – 205lbs: Ovince Saint Preux vs. Dominick Reyes<\/em><\/p>\n

Strawweight – 115lbs: Michelle Waterson vs. Felice Herrig<\/em><\/p>\n

What’s the most that you would be willing to spend to go to this event?<\/p>\n
