UFC president Dana White shares all company records were broken after UFC 205

Conor McGregor winning two titles in different divisions in the UFC was not the only history made in UFC 205 as UFC president Dana White said every record in company history had been broken last Saturday night.

After Mcgregor took his second belt with his rout of former champion Eddie Alvarez, White told reporters in the UFC 205 post-game presser that the Saturday blockbuster event broke every record the promotion has ever made, Fox Sports reported.

"Sitting here tonight, we broke every record in UFC history tonight. Every record," White said.

20,427 fans crowded the Madison Square Garden in New York, the largest number of audience in the history of the UFC, for a whopping gate of $17.7 million. The gate number of the famous New York stadium was also broken as it had a previous all-time high of $13.5 million when Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis faced in 1999.

Although UFC does not release official pay-per-view records, White claimed that UFC 205 also surpassed the pay-per-view buys of the UFC 202 where McGregor faced Nate Diaz in his debut as a welterweight. UFC 202 had an all-time record in pay-per-view buys that reportedly sold 1.65 million.

In social media, UFC also dominated. UFC 205 topped social media with over 2.9 million interactions and 1.5 unique messages about the bout, according to the Nielsen ratings system.

In a story by The Sun, the event racked up 14 billion interactions in social media, the highest in UFC history.

UFC 205's weigh-ins also recorded an all-time high as 15,480 packed the Madison Square Garden for the ceremonial weigh-ins, breaking the previous record of 11,500 in UFC 189, also headlined by McGregor who clashed with Chad Mendez at the MGM Grand Arena last year.

UFC media partner, Fox Sports 1, also had a record-breaking night. The televised prelims of the fight in Fox Sports 1 were the most-watched in history of FS1 for both the male 18-49 and people 18-49 demographics.
