Anybody know for sure what the cage size will be in Nashville? I can't find anything online about the seats originally available, but the maximum for the arena is around 20,000...which usually translates to the 30 foot cage. After looking at the tickets available online, I think that the second and third levels might not be open for this event which would push it toward the 10,000 seat capacity. The UFC usually uses the small cage for venues in the range of 5,000 seats, so I tend to think that the larger octagon will be used this week.
I was reading Josh Samman's blog on another MMA site and he said he was surprised to see the 25 foot cage when he walked into the arena for the first time (at the TUF 21
Finale). That seems terribly ludicrous that the fighters don't even know what size cage they'll be fighting in. I feel relatively sure that Vegas has access to that info, so what about the general public? Why won't the UFC announce the cage size before events? At least release the info to the fighters as it might influence their strategies!
