For the first time in 14 months, the UFC will hold its first live event in front of a packed crowd. UFC 261 is expected to take place in front of a maximum audience of 15,000 on April 27 at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida.
Dana White broke the news in mid-March. During the UFC 260 pre-fight presser on Thursday, the UFC president proudly announced that they’ve already broken arena records for ticket sales.
“Right now, we’re at the pre-sale in Jacksonville. We broke the arena record already,” White told the media.
