    Sounds similar to watching sporting events in Japan. They're too polite over there.

    We were watching a volleyball game, and the umpire called time out to give one manager a verbal warning for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Anywhere else and the crowd would have jeered the manager to hell, but in Japan the crowd went completely mute, you could have heard a pin drop.

    Reminds me of Douglas-Tyson, round after round Buster is handing Iron Mike his nuts on a platter.... to a smattering of polite applause in between rounds! :D

    The funny thing is, whilst Japanes crowds are narcoleptic, their commentators come off as highly animated. Not that I can understand a word they are saying....:)

    They had a internet pre sale before the tickets went on sale to the public.

    Make sure he brings a second pair of shoes. God knows who you may cause to vomit on them.

    Serious question Phil...

    Do sanc orgs or atleast you guys have an official meet and greet with the fighters? Is that a thing that happens when a title is contested? I'm not talking about a casual hand shake when you bump in to the fighters, but more of an official meeting where you guys are introduced etc.
