Early estimates have UFC 139 garnering around 270,000 pay-per-view buys

Dave Meltzer has early estimates on buys for last weekend's UFC 139 pay-per-view event in San Jose in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer newsletter (Subscription required at WrestlingObserver.com), and the trend of sub-300K buys continues. Early estimates for the card have it a little under 270,000, though more accurate numbers won't be available for a couple of weeks.

That estimate puts it slightly behind UFC 137, but above UFC 136 from October. Considering the rash of recent events, the attention drawn away from this card by the Fox event and no title fight on the event, the number is actually not bad. It's still a down year for the UFC from a buyrate standpoint, and they've got their work cut out for them to turn things around on that front in 2012.
