I mean we all know what is going on, but I don't think the majority of people who attend them really have any idea. As far as fight hype and atmosphere goes...the UFC is way more entertaining. Fight wise, I'd have to say PRIDE. The atmosphere of what's going on on the television will sell it to the public. PRIDE, in Japan, is quiet as a church...until the fight is over. Do you follow what I'm saying? I kinda talked in circles, but based on the fact that the majority of UFC fans in America don't truly know what's going on...I don't think they'll buy into unless the atmosphere gets more exciting.
