There is a difference between UFC Fight Night and numbered UFC events. The biggest difference is in the price. Fight Nights can be watched on ESPN as part of your monthly subscription. UFC numbered fights are sold as Pay Per View. Fight Nights tend to focus on rising starts, while numbered fights typically have well-established fighters.
UFC Fight Night originally came about due to the popularity of the reality TV show, UFC Ultimate Fighter. They saw that there was a large market for people wanting to watch up-and-coming UFC fighters. Fight Night allows athletes to introduce themselves to a new audience to help develop momentum, and it allows them the opportunity to show Dana White, the owner of UFC, what they are made of. It provides a steady stream of future UFC stars and helps promote upcoming numbered events.
