So, Has Anyone Gone to a UFC Event? [View all]

I haven't. Who goes to them. What's the audience going to look like at the White House? I've seen a couple of them briefly on the TV and the audiences have seemed rowdy and rude, for the most part. Celebrating people hurting other people seems to be the order of the day.

So, what might we expect from this?
