I started hearing about UFC 100 around UFC 90. I am blown away by how excited fans were for this event, said Dana White, UFC President. So I made sure to stack this card with the greatest fights and greatest fighters in the world, and keep ticket prices consistent with our other big events. Once again, our fans responded with a record sellout. This is another great milestone for the UFC, and July 11 is going to be an amazing event, Dana White said in a press release.
