UFC 83: Serra vs. St. Pierre 2 Sells Out

The first UFC event in Canada has become the fastest to sell out in UFC history.

The UFC has confirmed that tickets for UFC 83 have all been sold out Thursday, five days after they were first made available to UFC Fight Club members. The UFC is expecting over 21,000 fans to pack the Bell Centre in Montreal when Matt Serra defends his welterweight championship against Georges St. Pierre on Saturday, April 19.

"Most of the tickets for UFC 83 were sold in the first 24 hours of our UFC Fight Club presale, and the rest were gone within one minute of the public on-sale today," UFC President Dana White said in a statement. "I’m excited to say that this event is a sellout, and the fastest one in UFC history, so it’s safe to say we definitely will be back in Canada after this inaugural event."
