Even with a down economy in the state of Michigan, even mixed martial arts can thrive there as UFC 123, which took place on Saturday night at the Palace in Auburn Hills, located in Auburn Hills, MI, could be considered a qualififed success.
According to figures announced by UFC president Dana White at the event’s post-fight press conference, an estimated 16,404 attended the event while $2.1 million was the estimated gate. The actual numbers should be available in the coming weeks, if not sooner.
The last event that took place in Michigan prior to UFC 123 was back in 1996 when UFC 9 took place in Detroit, with about 10,000 in attendance. According to White, the UFC will make a return trip to Detroit; however, no date was set.
