Even after yet another lengthy absence, Jon Jones remains one of the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s biggest draws outside of Conor McGregor, Ronda Rousey and Brock Lesnar.
According to a report from MMAFighting.com, UFC 232 sold an estimated 700,000 pay-per-view buys between television and streaming purchases. If that figure holds up, it would be the promotion’s second-largest number of 2018 behind only UFC 229, which featured a Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Conor McGregor headliner and drew an estimated 2.4 million buys. The Las Vegas-based organization does not release official pay-per-view buy rates to the public.
