MMA observers might never know how effective an Olympic-tinged promo was for UFC 170, but according to UFC President Dana White, the recent event should be considered a success for women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey , who worried about pay-per-view numbers. “If we did (just) 750 pay-per-view buys, it’s still the biggest women’s fight ever,” he said following this past Saturday’s event, which took place at Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Events Center. “And this gate is still a quarter-million dollars bigger than her last (headlining) gate.” UFC 170 took in a reported $1.5 million at the box office , the promotion announced after the event. The privately-owned promotion doesn’t publicly disclose PPV numbers
