UFC fights have been very popular for decades. They started gaining their popularity when the Gracie family , which helped found UFC. The events are held in many big arenas like The MGM in Las Vegas , Nevada. These events tend to be very expensive to attend, and sell out almost immediately. On March 7,2020 there will be a fight against Israel Adesanya vs. Yoel Romero. 

Aaron Carranza, a freshman at Northwest stated, “ I wouldn’t pay to see a UFC fight unless it was someone I was really interested in, some of these people are overrated.” Carranza was one of the three people who said they wouldn’t go to a fight, because it is too expensive to attend. Since he said they were overrated my next question was, “ Do you know who is fighting ?” To then Carranza said that he has heard who they are but isn’t a big fan.  

Jocelyn Gaona, a freshman at Northwest stated she would only watch the game because her dad is watching the game. “ I'm not that interested in watching them on my own time, but I would watch it if I'm with my family.” Gaona also stated if she was ever given tickets she would go, but she would never pay to go.
