Following Barclays Center’s event on Saturday at “UFC 208”, Dana White decided to share some good news on Twitter. The inaugural women’s featherweight title fight between former bantamweight champion Holly Holm and now featherweight champion Germaine de Randamie, seems to have pulled in quite the draw.
White posted, “Thanks Barclays Center Brett, Fred, Keith for helping us make this the highest grossing sporting event in arena history. 2 NYC arena records.”
