I’ve been to numerous MMA matches as well. I bought my date a glasses of wine at one. I’ve never seen a fight in the crowd although these were not UFC. I can imagine people shelling out $500 a seat plus are fighting anywhere. Maybe at Philadelphia UFC.

It was a sporting event. I also have attended baseball, football, hockey etc. I’d go to boxing if I could get good tickets at a reasonable big name event.

At the MMA. Fights we had good tickets and we dressed nice. This was not an event where you wear a southern flag tshirt. The woman ate wearing nice dresses etc and the front rows may be on television. I personally don’t see a political side of going to watch sports. The events are more popular in California than anywhere else.
