Overview

• 7 News Australia reported RAC Arena is roughly half full, with tickets discounted days before UFC Fight Night 260.
• Oban Elliott was officially pulled due to illness less than 48 hours out, leaving 14 fights after earlier losses including Junior Tafa vs. Ibo Aslan.
• Jimmy Crute vs. Ivan Erslan has been elevated into the co-feature following Tafa’s withdrawal, replacing the scrapped co-main.
• Last‑minute prices were cited as low as AUD 167 (about USD 110), with some observers calling it the UFC’s worst‑selling event post‑COVID.
• Fans and analysts point to high initial pricing, an early local start tailored to North American viewers, and a perceived weak lineup, as projections suggest a gate well below past Perth sellouts.
