The UFC finally makes it's return to Miami for the first time in 20 years. The last time they were in the 305, Dwyane Wade was still months away from being drafted by the Miami Heat. At Wednesday's press conference Dana White confirmed that the promotion's return to Dade County has been a monster financial success. "Last time we came to Miami we did a gate of $446,000 twenty years ago. This time we did the biggest gate outside of Las Vegas and outside of Madison Square Garden," said White. "We will definitely be coming back to Miami!" The success lands on the co-main event's Miami native Jorge Masvidal, who hasn't won since 2019 but star power continues to flourish. The crowd at the press conference was fired up for Gamebred's every word.
