McGregor sells out 20,000 tickets in four minutes; Dvalishvili breaks nose at RAF

All 20,000 tickets for Conor McGregor's upcoming fight sold out in four minutes, equating to roughly 83 tickets per second, underscoring his continued box-office power. Demetrious Johnson commented on a circulating rumour that the UFC has stopped signing Russian and Dagestani fighters because they are simply too dominant. Meanwhile, Merab Dvalishvili suffered a broken nose during a wrestling session with Frankie Edgar at a RAF event, though the champion said the injury will not slow him down. Ben Askren is also set to compete at a RAF event on July 18 against Belal Muhammad.
