The UFC is known for putting on some of the most exciting events in all of sports. Not only do fans in attendance rise to their feet to cheer on their favorite fighters, but those watching at home arguably get an even better experience as the unique camera angles and overall production value from the world’s biggest MMA promotion are unmatched.

Certainly the fact that this event is across the pond and will not be available live on television in the United States is a tough sell to some, but there seems to be a growing number of fans who are considering flat-out skipping this event and just skipping UFC 138 like it was the 13th floor in a hotel.
