MIAMI – It looks like Miami won’t have to wait another 20 years for a UFC event.
UFC president Dana White says the promotion will definitely return to “The 305” following their success in ticket sales for Saturday’s UFC 287. This event marks the first time the UFC will host an event in Miami since 2004, and even though the event is days away, White is already eager to return.
“Last time we came to Miami was 20 years ago, and we did a gate of like $446,000,” White said at the UFC 287 pre-fight press conference on Thursday. “That was 20 years ago. We came back this time, and we did one of the all-time biggest gates. This is the biggest gate outside of Las Vegas and outside The Garden. We’ll definitely be coming back to Miami.”
