UFC featherweight prospect Conor McGregor was completely right the other day when he placed a bet with UFC President Dana White. McGregor texted White and told the president that he wants a title shot if UFN 46 becomes the fastest-selling show in UFC history.
Now, is it the fastest selling?
We don’t know for sure yet, but a UFC official said that the tickets were sold out within the first couple hours:
The UFC is delighted to have sold out its eagerly anticipated return to Dublin on July 19th, all tickets were sold within the first couple of hours. There are a limited amount of VIP packages available.
If McGregor meant fastest selling in Dublin, Ireland, then I think he wins the bet for sure. However, based on the number of seats sold in which the O2 Arena holds, approximately 8,000 fans, we just can’t confirm if the record has been broken for “fastest selling,” but 100% sure it’s at least in the top 5.
Dana White will most likely break down the numbers during the UFN 46 post-fight presser. So stay tune for that update here on Yell! Magazine.
