Nevada State Athletic Commission Executive Director Keith Kizer has released the final gate numbers for last weekend's UFC 91 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.The final tallies are in line with UFC President Dana White's post-event quote of $4.8 million, making it the third biggest earner in Nevada's list of top MMA gates. Chuck Liddell's second encounter with Tito Ortiz at UFC 66 remains at the top of the list with $5,397,300 in revenue, trailed by Georges St. Pierre's rubber match with Matt Hughes at UFC 79 with $4,994,050.
Here are the final numbers for UFC 91:
Live Gate: $4, 815, 675
Tickets Sold: 10,845
"Comp" Tickets: 3, 427
Early pay per view numbers have not been released on the show, but speculation has indicated the UFC may miss its anticipated figure of 1.2 million buys.
Still, $4.8 million is nothing to sneeze at, especially in this wintry economy.

Yeah it sure is a business. That was not the biggest fight in MMA history i could give a crap less about Brock Lesner. The card really wasnt even that great, Dustin Hazzlet had the most impresseive win in my opinion that armbar was beautiful. If this card did this well then UFC 92 should shatter the record that has a lot more intreging fights. Randy Couture deserves all the credit for making the event that big, or maybe i should say Dana White does he did the best marketing job ever done for a guy who was 2-1 and fighting in the main event.
STOP YOUR GODDAMN CRYING!!!! I WILL LIKE TO SEE THE SHOW YOU CAN PUT ON BEHIND YOUR COMPUTER WITH YOUR DICK IN YOUR HAND!!!!
That would make you gay wouldnt it?
