10 Lessons Learned From UFC Fight Night 52

8. Talk Of Quiet Crowds In Japan Have Been Greatly Exaggerated

Japan Flag It wasn't quite the level of noise the Irish brought this past summer in Dublin, but the crowd in the Saitama Super Arena on Saturday was red hot, and really, really into the action. Japanese crowds have been referred to as quiet, respectful, and at times the insinuation is that they're almost dull, but that was anything but the case at UFC Fight Night 52. It certainly helped that the card was fantastic and resulted in some great action in the cage. Overall, the success of the event means the UFC really needs to get back to Japan again, soon.
