CHICAGO – Saturday night’s “UFC on FOX 6: Johnson vs. Dodson” event drew an announced attendance of 16,091 for a live gate of $1.27 million.

UFC officials announced the figure at the night’s post-event news conference, which MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) attended.

UFC on FOX 6 took place at Chicago’s United Center. The main card aired on FOX following prelims on FX and Facebook.

While the number of complimentary tickets was not revealed, the reported figures work out to a revenue of $78.93 per ticket issued. The numbers are strikingly similar to the figures generated at UFC on FOX 2, which took place in January 2012, also at United Center. That show drew an official attendance of 16,963 for a $1,270,960 gate. Just 1,091 (6.4 percent) of the tickets issued were distributed as comps.

The reported figures for UFC on FOX 6 will be verified in the coming days by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation.

UFC on FOX 6 saw UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson defend his belt for the first time with a unanimous-decision win over top contender and “The Ultimate Fighter 14” winner John Dodson.
