Daniel Cormier defeated Anthony Johnson in the main card for UFC 210 on Saturday night at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, and the fight recorded a live gate of $2M, marking the highest-grossing sporting event in the history of the venue (THE DAILY). A "sellout crowd of 17,110" packed the arena, as "big-time mixed martial arts returned to Buffalo" for the first time since '95 (BUFFALO NEWS, 4/9).

Fans were "into the action all night" and could "feel the electricity of something new and exciting" in Buffalo. The BUFFALO NEWS' Bucky Gleason writes he hopes UFC "comes back to Buffalo sooner than later" (BUFFALO NEWS, 4/9).
