Get rid of the crowd again.

Mute it. I only unmute for the score (and sometimes for the corners between rounds). The commentary is enough to make me not watch.

Muting is a no go. Need to hear the impact etc
 
replace them with Japanese robot crowd IMO
 
I actually really enjoyed the silence. Harkened back to the old Shooto and Pancrase days where you could hear a pin drop and impact of every strike that landed. The crowd was just fully invested in the technical aspects of the fight and only applauded or cheered when something significant happened. With this, sure, there was less ambient energy but it allowed you to focus more on the fights with less distraction. I'm not saying crowds don't have their advantages in generating hype and interest but it's not fully necessary.
 
Live audience is the best experience and atmosphere to be involved in some crowds are great others not so much.
 
I agree but it won't happen, drunken American idiots are unbearable

You don't hear this type of shit in front of crowds in a respectable country like Japan
