Let's hope it delivers.
Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 7pm ET before moving over to FS1 at 8pm. The PPV main card, as always, starts at 10pm.
Let's get this topic as (respectably) rowdy as the Irish fans in attendance will be Saturday night!

"Those in UFC claim that the PPV advance for Saturday as far as orders go as of Wednesday were ahead of any show to date including UFC 100. Almost all PPV buys are done the day of the show so that isn’t yet a strong indication of guaranteed success, but it’s a good indication. Within the PPV industry, the belief is this will top 725,000 buys and that with Aldo, it would have beaten that handily.
The belief is a McGregor win would mean Aldo vs. McGregor, whenever that would happen, would be much bigger than it would have been tomorrow. However, a Mendes win, the belief is, would cost all parties involved a combined $45 million. And a lot of smart people favor Mendes, although McGregor is the betting favorite."

The two biggest PPV draws in MMA history on the same show.
If 189 does over 700k, I'll be pleasantly surprised. If it does less than 500k, a bit of a disappointment. I expect somewhere between 500-700.
