There was a worry that there wouldn’t be as much demand for tickets for UFC Dublin with a lack of Conor McGregor.
But our MMA-mad island showed that there’s just as much love for Joseph Duffy as the UFC’s third trip to the capital sold out yesterday morning in less than a minute.
After a pre-sale for UFC Fight Club members on Wednesday and an early pre-sale with a social code took place at 10 A.M yesterday, the tickets went on general release at midday.
And it didn’t take too long for them to be snapped up as people struggled to get tickets to the 3Arena event just minutes after logging on.
White says UFC Dublin on 10/24 sold out in 60 seconds.
