So this is the biggest gate in UFC history for his return. The city is buzzing.” White announced the triumph at Thursday’s post-fight press conference (without mentioning a number) and McGregor was on hand to thank the fans for their support. Ticket prices for UFC events have risen to record-high levels in 2026, but that hasn’t deterred the public from snatching up seats for Saturday’s show.
