UFC President & CEO Dana White said that the sold-out UFC Fight Night event in K.C. on Saturday drew 15,984 attendees, and the gate for the event was a “T-Mobile Center record for a sporting event” $2.2M. White said, “I think that Kansas City got spoiled tonight. This card was so good, every fight was incredible, mostly finishes. Kansas City is an awesome city. The people here are great; I really like this town. The energy in that place was awesome all night.” Fans saw 14 total fights over six hours at T-Mobile Center (K.C. STAR, 4/27). Royals C Salvador Perez and 1B Vinnie Pasquantino attended the event, and they “both received loud ovations when they were shown sitting together” (K.C. STAR, 4/27).
WWE on Monday will “cap off a five-day takeover of T-Mobile Center.” TKO Group Holdings will present the Monday Night Raw event after doing the same for the PBR’s Teams Event on Thursday (K.C. STAR, 4/25).
