UFC 129 has added another milestone in UFC as President Dana White and co. has just recently announced that tickets for UFC 129 - St. Pierre vs Shields, which will be held in Rogers Centre Toronto, Ontario, Canada this coming April 30, are officially sold out within minutes after getting them available for purchase. A startling 55,000 fight enthusiasts secured their attendance for the event that breaks the current UFC attendance record of 23,000 expectators during UFC 124 - St. Pierre vs Koscheck 2 that took place in Montreal last December.
Reports also tell that this will be the first UFC event to be held in Rogers Centre which was formerly constructed to only accomodate 42,000 seats but later reconstructed, by the UFC and venue officials group effort, to extend its seating capacity to 55,000. UFC 129 has also been recorded to be the biggest single day event ever to be hosted by Rogers Centre making a milestone of their own as well.
This event has, without any doubt, seized the attention of all fight fans in Canada as two of their great warriors are bound to fight for two different World titles. Georges St. Pierre is compelled to defend his Welterweight Championship belt against the American contender Jake Shields while the uprising star Mark Hominick aims to pinch the Featherweight Championship from the Brazilian champ Jose Aldo.
UFC also said that though UFC 129 tickets has ran down, the preceding UFC Fan Expo event tickets, which holds at the Direct Energy Centre in Toronto on April 29-30, are still up.
