    Regular UFC attendance numbers are anywhere from 20-25,000 for PPVs. In the UK they had a 50,000 attendance mark.When Pride was poppin over in Japan they had around 60-70,000 attendance in those huge stadiums.
    When was this, ive never ever heard of a 50 thousand crowad for a ufc event in the uk. think you might be mixed up with boxing.

              erm yeah i'd say it was. The people there seemed a lot more educated with the MMA and there seemed less hooligans shouting pointless things like "punch him in the head", "just whack him" etc

              i met some cool people who all understood different aspects of MMA which was good cus I only do thai boxing and know very little in terms of the ground game

                the crowd is not small it's just far away.
