On October 30th, UFC 267 will be the ninth numbered event that will not be sold through PPV (Pay Per View), and the first since UFC 138 in November 2011 when Chris Leben fought Mark Muñoz.
The reason for UFC 138 not being on PPV, along with the other seven, was because they were taking place in foreign countries at their prime times so that the athletes could fight at a healthy time to maximize their potential on the night. This meant that the UFC had to make sure its event did not flop in the United States, and therefore it aired them on Spike TV on tape delay so everyone could watch it at a good time.
