The Ultimate Fighting Championship’s first venture in Russia appears to have been a success.
Promotion officials revealed that UFC Fight Night 136 drew an announced crowd of 22,603 for a live gate of $1.84 million. While the UFC announced that the attendance figure ranks as the fifth-highest in UFC history, it is actually the sixth-highest, per reported figures.
