The Ultimate Fighting Championship’s first trip to Virginia proved to be a smashing success, though it fell just short of the live-gate revenue record for a UFC Fight Night event.
UFC Fight Night 20, held Monday at the Patriot Center on the campus of George Mason University in Fairfax, was announced as a sellout with 8,500 attendees, though the 10,000-seat arena used a modified seating configuration.
UFC officials confirmed the attendance and a $730,000 live gate with MMAjunkie.com after the show.
UFC Fight Night 20, which featured Gray Maynard’s split-decision victory over Nate Diaz in the headline bout, aired on Spike TV.
