Tokyo: Day 3-5
Day 3 wasn't much of anything, I wandered around a bit, saw a few different neighbourhoods, but I was pretty exhausted from the running around and sensory overload of Day 2. My Day 2 covered almost all the touristy stuff I really really wanted to do while in Tokyo anyway.

Also, having been to a couple of Prides and UFCs, I can safely say that expensive bleacher seats are better than expensive floor seats. If you aren't in the first few rows on the floor...I say go for the bleachers. When I went to UFC in Portland, the media (who had incredible seats) and ringside folks like Dana White all watched on monitors or the big screen. What's the point of such close seats if you're just going to watch a screen!!?? My tip to future MMA event attendees is go for a low/close bleacher seat...you can see much more of the action.

It definitely felt too long. By mid-card I felt my energy levels dragging a bit, and that's really when the card starting getting interesting, too. I prefer 8-10 fights or so to the 18 we had. I'm really glad there were a lot of stoppages in the MMA fights.

You might be right in the case of UFC shows. In Saitama I never wandered into the front rows, but I imagine those seats were awesome. The problem with having floor seats that are a little bit back is that they're non-elevated, of course. But then the problem with bleachers are that the fighters get smaller the far back you go, even while your angle improves.
I really think the best thing for anyone to do is to find a quality local show and sit like front row centre.
