10 Things You Can Only Experience At A UFC Live Event
10. Fans Who Think They're The Main Event
Not one, not two, but three fights in the bleachers, oh my!
One of the down sides of any sporting event, unfortunately, is nearly always the fans. UFC events are no different from any other outing in that regard. Whether the venue be a hockey arena or a big stadium, you're shoulder to shoulder with the masses. Sometimes, you'll be amidst a sea of educated fans who understand the intricacies of the sport, from Muay Thai to Jiu-Jitsu. Most of the time, you're just hoping the guy next to you won't spill his eighth overpriced beer on you.
Again.
However, if you're incredibly unlucky, you wind up with fans deciding that they're the main event. A little too much in the way of liquid confidence can lead to fisticuffs in the stands, something the most recent UFC card had in spades. A trio of fights in the bleachers kept security busy, including one that saw someone try to involve a chair.
Folks, it's not wrestling — chair shots are most certainly not allowed!
This is not a situation unique to the UFC, and there's little they can do to prevent it. Save maybe a "Don't Try This At Home" message ahead of every fight. Though that should go without saying.
