Probably under 500 000, even though it has good fights.
But:
- I don't care much for DC, he seems fake, he managed that conflict with Jones so poorly;
- Stipe lack personality, like someone says, his vids from the last UFC Embedded were wtf when he was talking with his wife ;
- Max talks like Stipe and dresses like Katt Williams and adds a golden chain cross to it;
- I like Ortega, even though he is with the whole "thank you, god, for helping me win this fight" and the steroids thing;
It's easily the most stacked card of the year and is being headlined by a historical heavyweight title bout
Most fans (the casuals) don't care much about the quality of the fights, they buy it for that one star: Brock, Conor, Ronda, GSP or for the guys who can sell big: Chael, Nate, Jones, Nick, Silva. Or for a feud. Rampage vs Rashad, Jones vs DC.
226 has no feuds. DC does not want to trash talk Stipe (all Stipe had to do is say that he can take DC down), Max, even if he tries to trash talk, it sounds stupid. The only one willing to trash talk it would be Perry, but he is on the prelims and after 2 losses (the last one was terrible), so it doesn't really matter.
