UFC events are a good time. Some thoughts.

1. Buy a Fight Club membership. It'll get you in on the pre-sale, which is where the good seats usually get sold and events sometimes sell out entirely.

2. UFC events are all ages.

3. UFC events are LONG. I was in Vegas for UFC 114 (Rampage vs. Rashad Evans) and the undercard fights began at 5, the Spike TV preshow began at 7 and the pay-per-view began at 8. We were at the arena for the better part of five and a half hours. Be prepared for a bit of sitting around, especially at the beginning.

4. You can usually meet most of the fighters at events prior to the fights. Most shows have a press conference, a public workout and the weigh-ins in the days before.
