UFC 129 is the Biggest UFC in History

UFC 129 is the Biggest UFC in History. Yes, you've heard it right, the upcoming UFC 129 to be held live at the Rogers Center in Toronto Canada will be the biggest UFC in history. In fact, UFC 129 tickets which were put on sale to public surpassed the predicted 42,000 fans.

UFC 129 tickets generated sales of 55,000 amounting to $11 million. With this record sales, the UFC 129 is expected to shatters both MMA attendance and gate records in North America.

The previous record was a comparably paltry $5.4-million set in Las Vegas way back in December 2006, at UFC 66, when light-heavyweight superstars Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz squared-off. The flood of fans is a testament to what UFC President Dana White calls a passion Canadians have for ultimate fighting.

"Canadians have repeatedly shown how much they love the UFC," said White in a pre-match release. "Fans in Ontario have patiently waited and it will pay off as this one will go down in the history books come April 30. I'm very excited - Toronto is going to break the record and host the biggest mixed martial arts event ever in North America."

Also included in the UFC 129 bonanza is what's called the UFC Fan Expo, which will take place at the Direct Energy Centre on April 29-30. Fans will get the chance to interact with UFC stars, watch exhibitions, take part in training and development clinics and check out the octagon.
