Even though Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) may not have gotten the result it wanted when Amanda Nunes dismantled Ronda Rousey in her return to the Octagon in just 48 seconds last night (Fri., Dec. 30, 2016) at UFC 207 live on pay-per-view (PPV) from inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, at least the year-ending event produced record-breaking attendance. UFC officials announced after the event that UFC 207 drew 18,533 fight fans, breaking the previous T-Mobile Arena record of 18,202 set by UFC 200 this past July.
"So for the first time ever in the history of T-Mobile Arena we broke the attendance record here tonight," said UFC president Dana White during the UFC 207 post-fight show on FOX Sports 1.
