You are naming places with really high violent crime statistics - for example Baltirmore is effectively locked in the top 10 most dangerous USA cities, usually in the top 5. It is not comparable to a city like Newark that is currently in the 50s. You would have to go back further then 10 years to say Newark was one of the most dangerous for violent crime.
Ironbound has always been fairly safe, including a decade ago. You have full time college students living there. South Newark is dangerous, and has always been dangerous.
Its not unusual for the UFC to visit NYC, Baltimore or Newark because they are playing at major arenas.

It's fine where the Rock is. Cops everywhere on the short walk from the train station. I went to GSP/Hardy there as well as Ping/Evans and it was fine.

UFC Newark sounds safe and legit to me, Arena looks good, I was mistaken. Not trying to sabotage ticket sales if it's an improved area and UFC has been there before. Anyways... where the hell is Wiman/ Pena on the books?
I know I love the Wire and my sister claims PTSD for teaching a year of inner-city kids there, for some teachers for America program to boost her resume, lol.

If I go to any chain bar like BWW or Brickhouse for a fight on a Saturday night there is always some guy whose training consists of steroids, a fake tan and everything but leg day trying to pick fights with people. Shit happens. I don't know any actual MMA fans that are violent, and I sure as hell don't know anyone that legit trains and is violent or is carrying weapons.

Ufc had a card in Buffalo dude. Poorer and arguably just as dangerous.

cool thanks.
Yup saw that one a couple of days ago, reeeeally looking forward to seeing mini Kelvin fight again. If both Firas Zahabi and Rafael Cordeiro think this kid has what it takes to become lightweight champion, there has to be something very special about him (Beneil Dariush also posted something about Nasrat being the future of Kings MMA etc.) ... Btw, seems like he has Kevin Lee as a sparring partner for his upcoming match:
