My review from attending the event live.

Overall I give 7.7/10 with the main event being a 9.5/10.
I'll start by pointing out the low points the card, those being the heavyweight fight and the Brad Scott fight. I personally, along with actual fans at event enjoyed the Mooses performance. Tom Breese did not blow away keita but he still comfortably won even when the fight went to more favourable position for keita. Arnald Allen was great and Scott Askham KO was beautiful. Rustam and Makwan put in gd shows. First two fights were nice quick finishes and I also hope Pickett retires after that win.

Mostly a very educated crowd with only a few drunk casuals. Atmosphere was great form the Allen fight onwards.

Silva vs. Bisping was the best fight I have seen live and it was a privilege to bare witness to that crazy ass entertaining as fuck fight live. Bisping 1,2,4 BTW. Silva fucked about to much and it cost him.
 
I was pretty surprised at how quiet the crowd was to be honest. I mentioned it in the discussion thread. It seemed very underwhelming. I thought England would be a lot louder.

Any thoughts on why that was? They also didn't seem to back Bisping as much as i thought they would. I'm not sure if that's just out of respect for Silva as well, or if he just isn't as popular with the crowd as i thought he'd be.
 
I been to several MMA live events but only 2 UFC events here in Atlanta,Ga and I found the atmosphere was electric but the fights are hard to see unless they are standing the whole time, it's fun being there but better to watch on my big screen TV

If you were there the crowd would get very loud for bisping when he was winning and also when there was a lull in the action they would chant to support him. The crowd didn't get loud until Allen fought and then continued to support the English fighters when they did well, which they did a lot apart from Wilkinson who got wrestled for 3 rounds. They would have started getting louder before that for the brad scott fight but that fight sucked so yeah. The first four fights were between non English fighters so usually what happens is us Brits act like Japanese crowds and cheer, clap and make noise when something cool happens like what happened in the first two fights.

In the 02 the screens are not above the cage and instead around the sides of the arena so u tend to watch the action in the cage. My view was very good and would only watch the screen if they went to ground at a certain side of the octagon beacsue the view was at a funny angle and the camera man was in way.

I'm only assuming you're also a YELPER
 
I went to a UFC events once, then I realised I can watch it on my TV for a lot cheaper. So I do that now.
