The attendance numbers for the MVP MMA: Rousey vs. Carano<\/a> event, which took place this past Saturday night, have been released.<\/p>\n The star-studded event was headlined by women\u2019s MMA pioneers Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano going at it in the main event, which Rousey ended up winning by armbar submission in just 17 seconds<\/a>. The event took place at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, the home of the NBA\u2019s Los Angeles Clippers<\/a>, and was broadcast live on Netflix.<\/p>\n Attendance Numbers for MVP MMA: Rousey vs. Carano Revealed<\/p>\n According to veteran combat sports business analyst Dave Meltzer in a social media post, the attendance numbers for Rousey vs. Carano were quite good, despite rumblings on social media that the numbers were poor. According to Meltzer, the attendance for MVP MMA<\/a> was 15,795 people, though he noted it was not a sellout.<\/p>\n \u201cThe attendance for Saturday\u2019s event at the Intuit Dome was 15,795, according to Wrestletix. I expect actual paid numbers through the commission to be released. The idea the building was empty was ludicrous but it was not sold out,\u201d Meltzer wrote on X.<\/p>\n The attendance for Saturday\u2019s event at the Intuit Dome was 15,795 according to Wrestletix. I expect actual paid numbers through the commission to be released. The idea the building was empty was ludicrous but it was not sold out.<\/p>\n According to the Intuit Dome<\/a> website, the capacity for the arena is 18,500, so if there were 15,795 in attendance for MVP MMA: Rousey vs. Carano, there were 2,705 available spots left in attendance for patrons to attend. Still, for a non-UFC<\/a> MMA event, this is excellent attendance, as usually any mixed martial arts event in North America that is not promoted by the UFC doesn\u2019t get close to these types of numbers.<\/p>\n During the broadcast, the arena did look empty at times, but fans who have been to Intuit Dome have suggested that the venue\u2019s true attendance does not translate well to television. Indeed, it looks like that\u2019s the case, as the attendance that MVP MMA drew for this card is quite good for a mixed martial arts card that doesn\u2019t have the three letters of the UFC attached to it. While the event\u2019s promoters surely would have loved a sellout, they are likely quite happy with 15,795 in attendance for this card, as that\u2019s a solid number all told.<\/p>\n MVP MMA Already Looking at Next Event<\/p>\n MVP MMA is already looking at booking their second event, with a potential heavyweight bout between Francis Ngannou and Robelis Despaigne being targeted as a \u201crealistic\u201d headliner<\/a> after they both had huge knockout wins on Saturday night. As well, a rematch between Mike Perry and Nate Diaz<\/a> is in the works after their first fight ended by cut stoppage at the end of the second round.<\/p>\n The event\u2019s promoter, Nakisa Bidarian, said that the promotion is looking at Sacramento, California, as a potential site for the event. If that\u2019s the case, then Golden 1 Center \u2014 where the NBA\u2019s Sacramento Kings<\/a> play \u2014 makes a lot of sense as the venue. This venue can hold up to 19,000 fans in attendance for concerts, so it would likely be able to hold something similar for an MMA event, though without Rousey headlining their second event, it might be difficult to draw close to that kind of number. Still, after a successful first card, MVP MMA is ready to do it again.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tAdam Martin<\/a> Adam Martin is a sports journalist with over 15 years of experience.
