‘One of the fastest sellouts in UFC history’ – UFC 261 sells out in record time; leaves Dana White pleased

There wouldn’t be anyone as chuffed as Dana White would be right now. The tickets sale for the upcoming UFC 261: Usman vs Masvidal was opened today. No sooner did the tickets sale for UFC 261 open than it was sold out. What’s more – the event which is going to be held at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena, Jacksonville will see an attendance of 15000 people.

Taking to social media, UFC President Dana White posted an image of the UFC 261, mentioning sold out in big block letters. Just yesterday at the UFC 260 press conference White had said, “Right now, we’re at the pre-sale in Jacksonville. We broke the arena record already. So I expect this thing to go on sale tomorrow and sell out in seconds. And we broke the arena record on the pre-sale.” And, boy was Dana White right!

‘Arena record for highest gross‘ – Dana White

White thanked the UFC fans for making the sellout happen at a lightning-quick speed. He captioned his post, “Thank you UFC fans!!! Sold out in minutes. One of the fastest sellouts in UFC history. Arena record for highest gross. 15k attendance. I will see you in Jacksonville.”
