I flew down from Canada to attend the event and was quite excited as it was my first live UFC event. In the end, I found the experience disappointing because the seats were too far from the octagon, so we all spent the evening watching the jumbotron. I would say less than 105 of the seats were worth buying for the event. the atmosphere was good but not at the intensity I expected. However, if all fairness, we were on the opposite side of the ring as the Octagon girls and the fighter entrance, and being in the box isolated us somewhat from non-box viewers. My biggest beef is that MMA is a sport of detail, and you don't get the same opportunity to notice the subtleties you do by watching the fights on a PPV with multiple cameras close to the action. Next time the supplier offers me comp tickets, I'll tell him I'd be a happier customer if he would comp me an HD PPV!!! A supplier of ours in Dallas comped me a bunch of tickets to a 100-level box.
