“This is something new so it’s nice to experience it,” Matt Bailey, a UFC super-fan from Nottingham, England said. “I feel like this card is stacked compared to other ones and I can’t wait [to watch].”
“[My favorite part of UFC X] is probably the meet and greets, meeting fighters, and topping it off with the event itself is just the perfect way.”
