Jon Jones If UFC 182 lives up to UFC President Dana White’s expectations, it’ll be the most watched pay-per-view event since Chris Weidman and Anderson Silva rematched at UFC 168 in December 2013. White believes Saturday’s event, headlined by the highly anticipated light-heavyweight championship grudge match between titleholder Jon Jones (20-1 MMA, 14-1 UFC) and Daniel Cormier (15-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC), could earn in the neighborhood of 750,000 PPV purchases. “I think this fight will do 750,000,” White said during a scrum with reporters on Thursday. “That’s where my line’s at.” The UFC is a private company and doesn’t release PPV figures. However, various insiders, most notably Wrestling Observer/MMAFighting.com’s Dave Meltzer, report estimated figures for UFC events.
