Poll: Crowdless UFC Event?

[Bork Neslar]

Every UFC event in Brazil should be crowdless. Brazilian fans are the worst.

its terrible feels like watching the ultimate fighter trash

You can actually hear the coaches which is cool but the best is that you can hear every punch and kick. Way better. Its like I'm there live.

The crowds r just annoying especially if you get a high pitch screamer. They should do this for all fights from now on.

Unlike the TUF fights where its in a small room, the big arena also echoes which makes every sound and voice that much more clearer.

Crowd significantly diminishes viewer experience, best thing to ever happen to mma

Agreed. One of the worst things about MMA is the fans.

This adds to the intensity of the fights too. And refs and judges aren’t influenced by the crowd.

You can literally hear a fighter gassing out.

In your face to all those posters talking about UFC crowd size and talking ppv numbers, I come to watch fights not crowd size...

 

[BEER]

It's probably better to have less possible crowd pressure on the refs and judges, but it must suck for the fighters.

 

[Lowiqredneck]

Crowd noise is identical during the women's matches, so no difference there.

 

[Morning Star]

Worse for sure, but not intolerable.

 

[Number 8]

Murrican crowd absent - much better

European or asian crowd absent - much worse

“I don’t know if (no fans) matters a lot," said Nikita Krylov. "Maybe without fans it’s a bit easier. There’s no noise; you can hear your corner clearly; no one distracts you. But fans still give you a special energy. You can fight either way, but I liked how the tournament was organized in Brazil, putting aside the fact that there’s a pandemic.”

 

[poor form]

It doesn’t have that big fight feel, without a crowd. But it’s still pretty badass, at it’s most basic sense.

I do prefer a KNOWLEDGEABLE crowd.

Crowds are the second worst part of most UFC events (commentary being first), won't miss them.

At times I complain, but it is pretty cool when everyone cheers or there’s those cool dynamics like everyone goes silent because they know both guys are about to throw hard, and then they erupt when someone lands. I enjoy that stuff, and they create special moments. But I agree certain aspects of it are annoying.
