Did you enjoy watching UFC in a movie theater?

That's odd. I never see threads on it, nor threads on fighter pay, GOAT talk, and Joe Rogan ever.
I went to see GSP vs Hardy in theatres, and then Mayweather vs Canelo.
I dont remember much about the GSP fight, typical just bleed fans all over.
The Mayweather fight was annoying as fuck though. The theatre was evenly split between Canelo fans and Mayweather fans, and it was nothing but constant banter. Just stfu and watch the fight. Probably wouldn't do it again.

Same. Chicks at the bar keep hitting on me during the fights and it's distracting. I tell them I'm trying to watch the fights but they just won't stop.

The only time I did it I enjoyed it. I remember watching GSP vs Shields card in a theater and everyone went crazy when they first showed Mark hominiks hematoma during the Aldo fight. Not my preferred way to watch fights but I think it’s better than going to a bar

You won't have to sherbro, the UFC supplies all UFC approved Theaters with custom UFC branded hotdog rollers. Only thing that sucks is they charge like $10 a hotdog. But you do get a 50% off venom coupon with every purchase.

I've seen events live, seen them in bars, and decided not to try the theatre experience. If you are not literal ringside seats, sitting in your own living room is still the best watch.
Was a worthwhile experience to watch live a few times but at home, the liquor is cheaper, the food is better and the women wear less clothes.

While I'm mad I've went my whole life not knowing you could do this, I'm now equally mad ever theater that does this is an hour away. Imagine finishing a card around 1:00 am, then having to drive 1 hour home.
3 theaters near me, and they're all 55 minutes to 1 hour 2 minutes.

Lol, you'd need a partner-in-crime just to split the cost of the Skittles at the theatres nowadays.

This didn't post, but I agree with a lot being said here.
HOME / BIG SCREEN / PLANNED EVENT / PEOPLE BYOB AND CONTRIBUTE == 11/10. I don't think I've had a bad one, other than someone puking on their own laptop lol. I did have a friend get a DUI leaving once as well, but he was given a couch option and a cab option.... plus it was a 65 degree night with just sleepin in the car a total option.... he had to drive though. =/
Had the cops show up twice, once for yelling / cheering I guess... the other was a place near by and they happened to notice people on my roof (I had a garden up there, no fucking big deal) but they though it was 'SUS". Point being, your place = your rules as well. Anyone steps outta line -- which among close friends really doesn't happen, it's just more chill... cheaper, better view (unless yer like row 1 or two.) I didn't enjoy live other than the electricity of the crowd. But when it comes to seeing small details like on yer home rig? Pffft. No.
BAR : BWW/ULTIMATE SPORTS/THEATER -- 8/10-- It really, REALLY helps to be early or know someone that works there. I can't stress that enough. Random sports bars generally SUCK. However, if you're a regular, have an inside person bartending or in the kitchen, you are WAY better off. Just knowing you have the best service makes the inside person a godsend when there's morons standing in the open spaces and yelling. Get a nice booth/corner with yer own screen and life is good, you can tune out the rest.... but if you get a floating pile of shit stool 4 person little table in the middle of the joint with traffic going both ways, it sucks.
Theater, if you can isolate and claim like.... upper deck or have yer own little world/faction, totally fine for here. They had some glitches getting it seyup like... early on, but they ran a few shows and it wasn't terrible. One however, stopped doing it because there are 2 bars here in town that literally gobble people in -- and during winter, home shows (it's been below 0 every day for 16 straight days now) are just way more comfy.
LIVE EVENT 7/10 : I say the exact opposite when it comes to music. Good LOCATIONat the concert and the experience are what make it. I won't lie though, inbetween UFC fights, it's kinda boring. If you're not lower level, you really can't see shit unless you stare up to a TV.... which you know looks better at home anyways. So this is all about OVERALL experience. The weigh ins are fun, the intros you can go berserk, the chants, the madness.... but you see and witness so much more with just a really good tv/setup overall. Plus even at shitty sports bars, a tap beer won't be $9 and a hotdog for $12 lol. Don't forget about potential lodging (out of town), parking, theft, or just some drunk idiot who thinks he's a badass because he wore his tapout shirt he bought 3 days before the event, and can't hold the liquor like a bitch.
I say get a group, for me it's me+woman, two HS friends and women -- assuming their kids are taken care of on that date, and invite people you'd like to be around. Offer good drink, good food, good smoke if that's yer choice --and avoid overpriced bullshit bars and drunk assholes in comfort.
Plus no one can argue if you run the show.... it's your fucking show.

If you have a party or group larger than what yer place can hold, it works....
But there's nothing like your own couch, your CLOSE friends, and a fridge full of beer and food provided and shared with love.... of violence.... and just bleed. I uses to do bars, but it got lame during certain eras -- no names, we all fans, but $6 mixed drinks and loud assholes aren't what I'm in it for anymore.... if I don't know ya
Personally, I'd take my living room and old man sofa over a theater any day. Couch fits 4, love seat 2-3,3 computer chairs, my old man recliner, and folding chairs around the side -- I think we've held 12-14. Just throw pizza/tacos/crock pot/pot luck shit on the kitchen island, one fridge on the deck and main fridge to split traffic up, and keep it more inclusive. Everyone donates $5-10 or whatever they can spare, everyone BYOB or party/community gifts.... it helps to have a sober cab of course, because I ain't never sleeping a dozen people over lol.... so yer out at like 2am by default....
65" 4k LG -- 5Pc surround, 32" monitor out by smoking deck, 27" on back wall -- room for coats and hangers and we even have little tupperware thingies on shelves for keys and pocket shit. Our own board for gambling and card table....
Theater is cool experience, but creating your own is vastly superior.
What's you address?

I have a few slings from prior shoulder surgeries. They come with a big foam pad which goes between your arm and your body, and there is a Velcro strip to open it up if you wanted to take the foam out.Get a girl with a purse that fits a 1.75 and the sams club sized candy bags. Then marry her.
I took one and carved out a storage section. It will fit plenty of airline bottles or a fifth, plus room for bowl etc. Johnny Walker Black was generally my beverage of choice in those days.
No one ever searched it or even asked or anything. No one is gonna fuck with you with a sling on.
Great for festivals concerts, etc. Especially in summer when it is harder to hide stuff in your clothes.
