UFC President Dana White announced last night that UFC 117 drew a live gate of $1.56 million, with 12,971 people present at the event. The California State Athletic Commission will release the official numbers next week. The number of free tickets issued was not released, but based on the numbers reported the revenue per ticket was $120.27.
The UFC 117 fight night bonuses have been announced, and Anderson Silva is going home a happy man.
Silva picked up Submission of the Night for his late-fifth-round triangle choke on Chael Sonnen, and also grabbed Fight of the Night along with Sonnen for their bout.
Matt Hughes also won Submission of the Night for his modified guillotine/arm triangle choke that put Ricardo Almeida to sleep. Knockout of the Night went to Stefan Struve for his devastating second-round TKO of Christian Morecraft.
The bonuses for UFC 117 were $60,000.
