Some thoughts:
-My seat was awesome, pictures did not do it justice. Completely unobstructed view, perfect.
-DC was about 10 feet from me before the fights. 10 feet below me, to be exact. I also saw Cowboy, Chiesa, and Dana White in the crowd, which was cool.
-The Sherman vs Coulter fight got a standing ovation from literally everyone in the crowd, which was even crazier since the local guy lost. It was an awesome moment, probably the biggest crowd reaction of the whole card.
-The place went silent once the JJ vs Andrade fight started, not sure if that came across on the broadcast. It was obvious that people were super into it, they stopped talking shit and started paying attention. It was pretty awesome.
-There were TONS of Yair fans in the crowd, they seemed to take Edgar's win pretty well though.
-There were several drunk / high jackasses behind me talking about cartoons, Netflix, screaming dumb borderline racist shit. It was extremely distracting, but didn't ruin the fights luckily. I know drunk people at fights are a common thing, for whatever reason I didn't have anything like that near me at the last fight I went to.
-The crowd seemed pretty split on Alvarez vs Poirier. Tons of people cheering for Eddie, but when Poirier started taking it to him (which I went crazy over, I've loved Poirier since the Fightville documentary) people were cheering and going nuts. It was so disappointing to end like it did, particularly since the knees were illegal.
-I and one other person near me seemed to be the only people in the crowd who liked Damian Maia after the fight. I felt some animosity from people near me every time I clapped when Maia got a take down or took his back. I started cheering the few times Maia got the hooks in on a choke, literally everyone nearby turned and looked at me.
-I loved every fight except for Branch and Jotko. The entire crowd was displeased with that fight.
-Great night, tons of fun. Very tempted to go to the Oklahoma Fight Night card next month now.
