UFC Ticket Business On Fire
Dave Meltzer reports in this week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter that UFC ticket business for live events has really taken off. Whereas the Brock Lesnar show did not come close to selling out in February, the May 24 show has already sold out well in advance, the London show is almost sold out, and the July show is off to a good start.
I wonder why Vegas would do so well with a BJ Penn match on top as compared to Brock Lesnar. Oh right, I think I know why, it's this guy on the card who is the biggest draw in the UFC who they are letting go.

I don't even think his much hyped fight with Rashad sold out or made a lot of money in Tito's hometown.

The only "big" fight for him is Kimbo, Frank is not a big fight by any fair definition (buys it will sell, tickets, etc). Even that probably won't happen as EXC is highly unlikely to sacrafice the current cash cow.

The Lesnar card wasn't exactly stacked (Timmeh vs. Nog headlined) while UFC 85 has 3 big fights and a lot of interesting matchups for both hard core mma fans.
Also it was Superbowl Weekend, meaning there was big competition for sports fan $$. What is UFC 85 competing against??
But yeah, Tito does sell tickets.
