UFC in England, Scotland or Ireland at a football stadium or large venue would be a guaranteed sellout easily 40 or 50 thousand depending on the stadium, with a fantastic atmosphere. I can't understand why it's not been done yet and instead most of the big fight cards are in America or Dubai who don't have a clue about passion or an atmosphere

[@fhjjgttyhh4762]

Stadiums aren’t always the ideal venue for ufc style events. If a British ufc fighter gets a title shot then that could warrant it

[@oulangkous718]

it's different cultures dude, doesn't mean there's no passion. the UAE crowd r very respectful and cheer for the winner and loser and celebrate with feasting on food after. US crowds can get pretty wild too depending on which state & seem to prefer having watch parties at home. UK fans r more into gathering since the football/pub culture is so big there.
