UGP 9 BY THE NUMBERS

Union Grand Prix 9 may have had only one title fight slated for the evening, but it was chock-full of big match ups and a double Co-Main Event with title shots on the horizon. We saw a title change hands, Split Decision calls that could have been argued to go either way, a former two-time MMA Champion make his Union GP debut, and several of the brightest competitors continue their climb to superstardom. The numbers don’t lie, and this event, held at Caesars Palace, was the highest grossing event that Union has put together to date.

Lucas wins a nail biting Split Decision over Fisk.
