The Aussie MMA fans are the stuff of legend. Without witnessing it in person, it’s difficult to articulate the level of support and unbridled bedlam that emanates from the crowd at a UFC event Down Under. The support extends to every fighter on the card, veteran or rookie, and it further extends to the fight week activities leading up to the big event.
This was evidenced yet again when a massive crowd packed Melbourne’s Federation Square to get a glimpse at some of the stars coming up on this weekend’s sold out UFC 234 extravaganza. The rambunctious bunch made it sound at times as if the fights themselves were already underway, and the fighters in turn fed off the energy.
