10. The Irish Fans Are Insane, In The Best Of Ways
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmpZeEu3vB4 I've never, ever heard a crowd that vocal in the opening bout of a card. The opening prelim bout. Of a Fight Pass card. The Irish fans went absolutely nuts Saturday, and the UFC really needs to return to this market within the next year. If nothing else, the fans in Dublin deserve it for being so into the bouts. Beyond that, if the UFC really wants to be a global enterprise and take the sport of MMA to new heights - well, this is apparently a market that is absolutely dying for fights. I cannot get over how loud this crowd was. Dana White tweeted that the weigh-ins were insane; I fully believe it having heard the live crowd.
