UFC On ESPN 10: Attendance, Gate, Bonuses
There were no fans inside the UFC APEX Center for UFC on ESPN 10 on June 13. As a result, there was no gate for the event in Las Vegas.
At one point, the card was considered an afterthought by MMA fans. By the end of the night, those same fans were impressed with the action that they saw. There were no bouts selected for Fight of the Night.
Performance of the Night went to four individuals:
Christian Aguilera: Opening up the UFC on ESPN 10 prelims, Christian Aguilera set the pace for the entire card before the main card. In the first minute of the first round, Aguilera beat Anthony Ivy via TKO.

Tyson Nam: The second bout to start the night had a quicker finish than the Aguilera fight. Nam needed only 30+ seconds to take out Zarrukh Adashev. It would end up causing people to scratch their heads at what they were witnessing. The win ended a two-fight losing streak and it was Nam’s eleventh win via knockout.

Mariya Agapova: Opening the main card, Mariya Agapova and Hannah Cifers had a lot of pressure following a solid preliminary card. Agapova ended up controlling the bout with the veteran in Cifers from the get-go. She would then submit Cifers with a rear-naked choke. The loss was Cifers’ third in a row, and fourth in her last six contests.
Marvin Vettori:Â This one was personal for Vettori. The 26-year-old had a back and forth first round against Karl Roberson. He ended up controlling the ground game and submitted Roberson via rear-naked choke. This comes after Roberson backed out of their last fight and missed weight for this bout. Vettori has now won three in a row.
