The bigger they are, the bigger the box office draw.
UFC 160, which took place at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, on May 25, 2013, tallied a live gate of $2,942,365 million, according to official figures from the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) released today.
The final attendance of 12,380 was the result of 10,075 tickets sold and 2,305 complimentary tickets, while 1,403 seats remained empty.
UFC 160's main event featured a Heavyweight rematch between Cain Velasquez and Antonio Silva, which ended in the first round like their first encounter with "Brown Pride" drilling "Bigfoot" with a right cross that floored the Brazilian and lead to a ground-and-pound finish.
One that Silva claimed was illegal based on this photo evidence.
Meanwhile, in the co-main event Junior dos Santos earned himself another crack at Velasquez's crown by knocking out Mark Hunt late in the third round in their "Fight of the Night"-winning performance.
It was an amazing stoppage, but one that Mike Tyson of all people did not think was the best of the evening ... so it officially wasn't.
The other three pay-per-view (PPV) main card bouts saw Glover Teixeira submit James Te Huna in short order, T.J. Grant earn a Lightweight title shot with a knockout victory over Gray Maynard (more here), and Donald Cerrone bloody and batter K.J. Noons en route to a decision win.
And get bloodied and battered in the process.
