The UFC made a significant announcement recently, revealing an exciting partnership with OC VIBE Honda Center that will bring at least three events to Anaheim, California, over the next five years. The inaugural event, UFC 298, took place on February 17, 2024, at the Honda Center, and it was a night of record-breaking success for both the UFC and the arena.
UFC CEO Dana White shared some impressive numbers from UFC 298, with the pay-per-view event garnering a live gate of $7.26 million and hosting 18,186 attendees. White proudly proclaimed UFC 298 as the 'Highest grossing live event in arena history' and the 'highest grossing MMA event in California history.' This marked a significant milestone for the UFC, surpassing the success of their previous event at the same venue in 2022, UFC 270.
