UFC 232 Trending Towards 700K Buys

Jon Jones’ return to the Octagon yielded the second biggest buy rate of 2018, as early numbers show UFC 232 pulling in 700,000 buys.

Initially reported by the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the card featuring Jones’ rematch against Alexander Gustafsson for the vacant UFC light heavyweight title and Amanda Nunes first round upset over Cris Cyborg, would pull behind UFC 229, which would see 2.4 million buys for Conor McGregor’s return against Khabib Nurmagomedov.

These numbers exceed a majority of UFC’s numbers for last year, with UFC 231 between 240-300,000 buys, UFC 230 from Madison Square Garden drawing 250,000 and UFC 228 barely over 130,000 buys for Tyron Woodley’s win over Darren Til.
