When the UFC held their first event in Mexico in November with UFC 180 in Mexico City, they set the record for the largest grossing ga
te in the history of Arena Ciudad de México. 21,000 spectators were in attendance that night to witness Fabricio Werdum defeat Mark Hunt to win the UFC interim heavyweight title.
On Saturday, the fight promotion returned to Mexico City and broke their previous record for gate figures and packed in 36 more people in the venue than they did in November.
