Leon Edwards speaks in on the exorbitant UFC 286 ticket pricing
The cost of tickets for the upcoming UFC 286 event has caused controversy among MMA fans, with many questioning the high prices. Even headliner Leon Edwards has weighed in on the issue, stating his belief that the tickets should have been more affordable.
During a recent appearance on The MMA Hour, Edwards acknowledged that he had received messages from fans expressing their concerns about ticket prices. He went on to suggest that the UFC should have made an effort to ensure that tickets were more reasonably priced, to ensure that more fans could attend the event.
The current UFC welterweight champion stated:
"For me, I don’t understand why they’re so high. I think ringside, before it went on sale, was like four thousand pounds or dollars. That’s a lot of money, you know? It would be worth it if the fighters got paid more, but it all just goes back to the UFC anyway."
He further added:
"People have been messaging me saying, ’Why is it so expensive?’ I’m like, ‘Mate, I’m not making the prices.' But, yeah, it’s not good for the fans that can’t afford it. But it will still be a good show either way."
