Monday, UFC officials announced a record sell-out for the promotion’s return to Australia at UFC 127. It took only 30 minutes for the company to sell out all of their tickets, including an additional 600 seats that were added to the seating configuration.
“UFC 127: Penn vs. Fitch” will originate from Acer Arena in Sydney, Australia on February 27th, home to UFC’s Australian debut, UFC 110, which took place this past February. The event takes place on Sunday afternoon and U.S. fans will be able to view the pay-per-view in its customary Saturday-night timeslot due to the time change between the two countries.
