UFC 207 draws sold-out 18,533 attendance, a Las Vegas UFC record, for $4.75 million live gate

LAS VEGAS – Friday’s UFC 207 event drew an announced attendance of 18,533 and a live gate of $4.75 million.

UFC officials announced the tallies following the event, which MMAjunkie attended.

The event was a sell-out, according to the UFC, and the most attended UFC event ever in its Las Vegas home base – though the live gate fell well short of the UFC’s first two events at T-Mobile Arena, which opened earlier this year.

UFC 207 took place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, and the main card aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

In the main event, women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes destroyed former champ Ronda Rousey in 48 seconds for a first-round TKO. Rousey was returning for the first time in more than 13 months and now has back-to-back knockout losses. The fight was Nunes’ first title defense after stopping Miesha Tate in the first round at UFC 200 in July to win the belt.

UFC 207 served as the UFC’s annual year-end blockbuster event. It was also the third UFC event held at T-Mobile Arena, a Sin City venue that opened earlier this year.

The all-time UFC-attendance marks at T-Mobile Arena include:

1. “UFC 207: Nunes vs. Rousey” – 18,533 attendance ($4.75 million live gate)
2. “UFC 200: Tate vs. Nunes” – 18,202 attendance ($10.7 million live gate)
3. “UFC 202: Diaz vs. McGregor 2” – 15,539 attendance ($7,692,010 live gate)
