UFC 87 breaks Target Center gate record

A testament to how big the sport has become.

"This past Saturday's 'UFC 87: Seek and Destroy' event is the latest UFC show to break the hosting venue's live-gate record.

UFC 87, which took place at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minn., drew 15,082 attendees for a live gate of $2,252,000, breaking the venue's former record gate set by a Billy Joel-Elton John concert ($2,062,000) in 2001."
