Quick question.

Predictions: 8 of 12 Winners, 4 Perfect, 555 Points   |   Tied for 1509th

If you go to a UFC event early in the prelim when the place is almost empty can you go to closer seats to watch the fights while people still have not arrived and then go to your actual seat when they arrive? 

Or do they keep an eye on you to make sure you are on your actual seat ?

@rusty I think my favorite example of ATT supplements is Grant Dawson. He couldn’t go more than 10 minutes without gassing and then one camp at ATT and he magically backpacks damir for 15 minutes
