Re: UFC 182: Jones vs. Cormier - Jan 3

Have been waiting for this fight for so long. Once I heard it got pushed back I just had to come over for it. Has anyone ever attended a ufc event at mgm? What is the seating etc like? Thanks. Go Bones!

I've been to three fights at the MGM. Rampage/Evans, Rampage/Hamill and UFC 178. For Rampage/Evans, I had nosebleed seats and they were still decent. The arena isnt that big (only fits 12-13k) so even upper level seats are decent. For 178, I had seats 10 rows from the floor and they were damn good. Didnt need the screens for anything other than when the fight went to the ground.

My only complaint about the MGM is there is only one entrance and exit. So if you dont arrive before the PPV, you will be waiting in line for a while to get into the arena. When you leave it could take up to an hour because of the one exit and the fact that the crowd merges with the casino crowd.

All and all, the MGM is a solid arena and you will have a good time.

Awesome thanks for the info. I think im 22 rows or so back from the floor. So hopefully its good and i dont have any cameraman etc obscuring my view. But damn do that many people really not bother with the prelim fights? I intended to head in after the fight pass fights. So with any luck no waiting. I did caught in a big crowd of people leaving the grand garden last night for a justin timberlake concert which i don't even think was sold out, and yeah that was very busy. You would think they would do something about it.

Its Vegas man. People are too cool to come early. I've been to 10 UFCs and the only ones where people wait until the PPV to come is the ones in Vegas.

22 rows is perfect. The cage wont block you (which is a problem with sitting on the floor) and you are close enough to not have use the screens to see the striking.

I'm afraid for Burkman, yet at the same time I half expect him to make this competitive.

these 2 fights shouldn't have been on the PPV, hopefully Tavares does something to make it exciting

Got the PPV for Jones and little else. Not really excited for any of the others. Hosting some friends and were paying more attention to the football game for now really.

4 unanimous decisions through 4 fights.

Re: UFC 182: Jones vs. Cormier - Jan 3

Jury didn't show much in that fight. Solid win for Cerrone.

Re: UFC 182: Jones vs. Cormier - Jan 3

Jury was fighting not to get knocked out



JJ is stalling a lot ... I wonder if he is trying to piss DC off
