This year we&#8217;re going to break the record for ticket sales, ever, in UFC history. There are more tickets being sold this year than ever before in the history of the company. We continue to put on these fights, people come and see them. They&#8217;re on TV, free, they&#8217;re on ESPN, which everybody has.
