What's the actual thought process behind this though? Are they selling the place out and just really don't want to give away those extra seats?

And what's the deal for non-APEX fights?

MMAJunkie posted:

UFC fighters typically receive four complimentary tickets for events on the road. However, tickets were not typically guaranteed to the athletes at the UFC Apex prior to this policy implementation. According to numerous people with knowledge of the procedures, family and friends often purchased premium-priced tickets to in order to attend, though comps were occasionally given on a more rare, situational basis, as well.

I'm usually a fight night defender, but I know like 5 of these fighters and 2 of them are Norma Dumont and GDR

Yeah I was about to post something along these lines but got distracted by GDR fighting at all, didn't think we'd ever see her again.

Oh gently caress 300 is this weekend huh? snuck up on me. I like the custom unreadable shorts, hopefully they actually worked with the fighters about those rather than just suddenly made them wear it.

the big thing with the new gloves is the lack of seams so incidental cuts may not be as prevalent

Huh? I could see wanting Max to retire after the trilogy, but now? He's 32 years old, here's a fun little one for you, we might see Max on UFC 400.

Also Jim Miller should train how to be a ref so that he can be on UFC 400, I guess they could have him do commentary too or something.

Has anyone tried making "FightCoin" or "DanaWhiteCoin" yet.

Looks like yes and the associated ig account was created in may 2021, don't really wanna spend more effort than that to dig further, I'll tell you though that their website just says "actually we're gonna be named something else" which then links to another website that is completely dead.

Wait, they’re seriously doing it from like 3am to 6am locally just so it’s live in primetime in the US? I never paid much attention to this stuff, but that’s extremely hosed up. It’s not like US people wouldn’t watch UFC in the late afternoon.

That's not the actual start time though, exact times probably aren't set yet but judging by other cards prelims probably start at like 11 pm

It is still stupid but it isn't quite as stupid as it seems.
