Good reason to go. All live events have a certain atmosphere of excitement and uncertainty that cannot be replicated with an at home viewing experience. However, attending local or regional amateur or pro cards will almost never provide the spectacle and demonstration of skills that a top level pro event can bring. If you have the opportunity to see Fedor fight, you should take it. Even a casual fight fan wouldn't let his generation's Ali or Tyson fight within a reasonable drive and not attend. Win or lose, the opportunity to see the most dominant high-level fighter ever is one worth taking. I'm all for living your life and experiencing things for yourself, but that's still a memory of lasting impression.

In response to Jodka, I still believe it is the strongest North American HW card ever (I thought I had clarified HW with "weight class," but fair enough either way). I think we can all agree it is a great card that is up there with the best, especially considering the American obsession with heavyweights.
