When Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) makes its way into a new market or city or province or country, even, it typically results in a sold out arena with a highly successful gate.

UFC 149: "Aldo vs. Koch," which will go down on Sat., July 21, 2012, at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, is no different.
