UFC 284 is already a record-setting event.
The event, which takes place later tonight, in Perth, Australia at the RAC Arena is already listed as a sellout of 15,000, Sports Illustrated has learned. It has generated a gate of $5.8m AUD, making this the highest-grossing event in Australian arena history.
Headlined by Alexander Volkanovski challenging Islam Makhachev for the lightweight championship, the 284 card also includes an interim featherweight bout pitting Yair Rodriguez against Josh Emmett. It will be a compelling slate of fights, but with all due respect to the fighters on the card, it is the main event that everyone is awaiting.
