UFC 92 drew a live crowd of 14,103 in Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena on Saturday night for a live gate of $3.47million.

UFC President Dana White announced the figures in a post-show press conference.

“The biggest card of the year lived up to the hype,” he said. “It was a great night.”

UFC 92, the UFC’s final event of 2008, saw two new champions crowned in Rashad Evans and Frank Mir.

Evans defeated former champ Forrest Griffin for the UFC light heavyweight title, while Mir, who will go on to face Brock Lesnar in 2009, beat former title-holder Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira for the interim heavyweight belt.

Official figures from the Nevada State Athletic Commission will be released in the next few days.
