UFC 109 features a battle between veteran fighters Mark Coleman and Randy Couture. If you didn’t get your ticket to the fight at Mandalay Bay, there are still plenty of opportunities to catch every kick and punch at one of Las Vegas’ many sports bars around town that will be showing the fights. Be sure to get there early to catch all the action from earlier fights between Paulo Thiago and Mick Swick and Nate Marquhardt and Chael Sonnen. After the fights, head to one of several afterparties on and around the Strip, hosted by the UFC’s top fighters.
