February 28, 201511 yr Author Sounds like a fun night! If it was me, I would have dragged them to the cage and throw them in, and then say "GO AT IT"!

February 28, 201511 yr Author Ok, before I finally go to bed: Overall it was a good night of fights. I was talking to a few people that I knew there and they said that the crowd was about 4 times the size of the first one at the BOK about 6 weeks ago. I'll have to check on an estimate of how many people where there, But they had about 90% or more of the floor seats taken. They also had two sections on two sides of the stands open, and they were about half full on each, so just say the floor and two sections of the stands were full. Tickets were around $35-$60 something, I bought one for the stands but as I walked in I saw someone I knew who had an extra first row ticket so I sat there. I'm still not convinced that the ticket prices are set right, I would say if they dropped the prices for the stands to about $20 they would get a bit more people. If you think of the gain in concession sales it may be worth it for them right there. The first fight was over in no time, 24 seconds to be exact. The guy who won offered to fight a second fight last night as one fighter there was without an opponent, and since he hardly broke a sweat they allowed him to fight that second fight about an hour later. He fought some kid, looked to be about 19 who was fighting for the first time at an event, the kid won. In the heavyweight title fight I don't see how Jerry Clore got out of the first round, but he went the distance of 5 rounds, kind of looked like it was in slow motion though, but it was a great fight. The second last fight was a good one, with Nathan Fitch the owner of Son Of Siam gym winning in his first MMA fight, as in the past everyone backed out on fighting him at the last minute. His first fight was a pro fight, and he is very good, I look for him to win the title not to far down the line. It was an very entertaining night! Again, if they drop the price at least in the stands, they could draw a lot more. I'll add the "friendly" suggestions later. Edited February 28, 201511 yr by SportsGuy41017
February 28, 201511 yr Author Wish i was there reffing, but instead celebrating my daughter's 16 birthday. Family before fights. I look forward to seeing you in there next time. I don't know who the guy was reffing last night, but his arms were as big as my thighs, and I have big thighs, he is a serious weightlifter!
