Kamaru Usman vs Jorge Masvidal

UFC 261: Kamaru Usman vs Jorge Masvidal fell short of the one million mark as the recent reports according to Sports Business Journal’s John Ourand, the hugely anticipated UFC 261 sold around 700,000 PPV buys domestically on ESPN+. Needless to say, these numbers are expected to change after the global numbers are out, however, more than 700,000 domestically is in itself a huge number.

UFC 251 was a huge success, raking in 1.2 million PPV buys. It was also the first big event after the pandemic which took place on Fight Island. Additionally, the card boasted of some exciting fights including Max Holloway vs Alexander Volkanovski, Petr Yan vs Jose Also, and the rematch between Rose Namajunas vs Jessica Andrade.
