I like the idea that you think the UFC pays people to shitpost in obscure Sherdog forum threads.
Kind of a no brainer if someone is already up in the air about buying tickets or not. But for me, if i am considering buying something if i can get it cheap, my impulse buy kicks in and i end up trying to justify paying more for something. I literally only ninja buy shit on ebay with my final price i am willing to pay. Sometimes i win, sometimes i lose, but at least i don't end up paying more then i wanted to.I know Cali has a much bigger mma following than Chicago but you can get tickets cheap off scalpers if you hold off until the last minute.
My friends and I usually go to every UFC event that comes to Southern California but this time we are going to pass. It’s a tough decision to make, because I love going to live events, but UFC tickets are expensive and these days there’s just such a high possibility that someone pulls out last minute or is prevented from fighting by doctors because of a deathly weight cut. And with DJ there’s always a possibility of a drawn out 5 round pitter-patter fight that puts the crowd to sleep. Update: literally just right now I stopped writing to look at the rest of the card and learned just that Volkan just pulled out! This confirms all my fears. I just can’t invest into these live events anymore. It’s sad what’s become of this sport.
There are 5 bantamweight, 2 flyweight, and 3 WMMA fights on this card. You'd think they'd book another LHW just as a back up.
Do it. If a fight falls through, chalk it to taking one for the team.My friends and I usually go to every UFC event that comes to Southern California but this time we are going to pass.

Losing Gus/Volkan 2 weeks out is horrible. Unless someone steps in to fight Gus, I wouldn't pay more than $60 to attend.
