Anyone go to a UFC PPV?

[Harry Powell]

Just got tickets to the Jones-Stipe fight.

Are the ceremonial weigh-ins worth attending?

Do I want to be there for the early prelims or is it not worth it?

 

[BonnieMcFarlaneMe2]

No and I don’t know anything about the UFC either. Hope this helps, punchin out.

Not in most cases but it's a Jones fight so he might slap someone

Do I want to be there for the early prelims or is it not worth it?

Again normally it's a crap shoot, you could see some good fights. For a PPV headlined by Stipe and Jones the undercard is probs gonna be pretty wild

Yes without question. For an MSG event with big names you will want to attend as much of it as you can. Try to get into press events or open workouts or anything. Show up for the weigh-ins or press conferences if they are open as well. Just the atmosphere before the fights if you are a hardcore fan should get you into the mood for the event. It will definitely get you into the mood for the fights.

Do I want to be there for the early prelims or is it not worth it?

Depends on a lot of things. Where your seats are. How far you are staying from the venue. How much you are willing to spend on food. If you want to have a sit down meal before or after the event. The way I usually do late sporting events is I find a restaurant open after the event is over and reserve a table. Then eat sparingly during the event so that everyone is hungry after things are over. When the game or matches are over then you go out and eat. Maybe then go see a late night movie or go to a nightclub or whatever if things are still open.

The thing with UFC prelim fights is that they are unpredictable. Sometimes the fights are all finishes. Sometimes you get a dozen 30-27 fights in a row before you get to the co-main or main and it is boring. But if you want to watch the main card fights it is best to arrive over an hour earlier and try to get right in before a big crowd shows up. And this is an MSG card so it might be stacked top to bottom or horrendously filled out because UFC are dirt cheap.

If this is your first time at a UFC event I would recommend seeing as much of it as you possibly can. From the pre-event stuff to watching all fights live. Then you'll know what next time works best for you and what doesn't.

Weigh ins for all fights are dumb especially in UFC where it's literally done for show. Unless it's an event one like Ricky Hatton with tens of thousands of travelling fans creating at atmosphere they aren't really an event. Just people with cameras in the air taking photos of men posing

Just people with cameras in the air taking photos of men

They know their audience.

Try to sneak in a sign with a Fatrick reference and get it on TV.
Therefore, the more events you attend, the better your chance

Im in section 114 or something. I’ve never been to MSG so not sure if I’ll make tv. The “good” seats were $5000+ea

I went to the UFC on FOX dos santos vs miocic 1 card. I mainly went because my drinking buddy at the time Jamie Varner was fighting against Drew Dober on that one. I was seated next to some FUCKING SPICS that brought their god damn baby dropping formula gassers all night. Fuck I hate mexicans.

I am still deeply offended that MSG has to relocate because of a fucking train station. That is all.
