The UFC is coming to Washington for the first time with UFC on Versus 6, which will take place this Saturday at the Verizon Center and features a bantamweight title fight between Dominick Cruz and challenger Demetrious Johnson.
For fight fans traveling to the city for the event, here are 10 really good ways to kill time and get a flavor of the city.
I’ve been living in the D.C. area for about 15 years now, and even though I’m now a lowly, mooing suburbanite, I’m still able to offer some locals suggestions that you probably didn’t see on your high school field trip.
In addition, most of these are in the same neighborhood as Verizon Center, and those that aren’t are designed to appeal to you, the red-blooded American fight fan. Happy travels.
