I'm very excited for this card! I live in Illinois and I've been to Denver many times before but I've never been to a UFC event. I want to hear from some of you guys that have been to one so I know what to expect when I get there.

All of the ones they had here were decent but not great. UFC was in a Chicago suburb and it was decent too. Nothing to get excited about.

Being at a UFC event is a lot better than seeing it on TV. The atmosphere is amazing

That's what thought it would be like. I've been to a small MMA card once before and it was pretty cool because you were really close to the cage. I know that if everything goes has planned and I do go there I'll be pretty high up in the in the stands but the card is great and it's always an awesome experience going to Colorado.
