UFC 303 ticket costs and how to purchase them
Dana White & Co. has created an easy method to get tickets to the PPVs. The fans will have to visit the UFC 303 page on the official website and go to the ‘buy tickets’ option to purchase their seat in T Mobile Arena. The price range of the tickets might be shocking for many because some of them are in the range of $305 to $11k.
Fans are concerned about the prices, especially because the McGregor fight is off and now it does not seem justified to them to have to buy costly tickets. However, the fighters who replaced the previous main card are as dangerous as their predecessors, and since it was announced on short notice Pereira and Prochazka are not leaving any stone unturned.

Pereira uploaded a YouTube video where he was training and sparring with his coach, showing his intense punching and grappling styles. Along with that, Jiri Prochazka is training with Martin Karaivanov and is also increasing his endurance with unique methods. He meditates under waterfalls and rubs poison ivy on his body, to name a few.
This fight is going to be a magnificent event, especially since it’s a rematch between the duo who last fought with each other in UFC 295. Are you excited about this event? Let us know in the comments.
