First, I would recommend going to the prelims, even if you're not emotionally invested in the fighters. These guys bust their humps trying to put on the best show they can, so their fights can get put on the PPV broadcast (time permitting). Jeremy Stevens won KO of the night at UFC 91 with a hellacious uppercut, and Jorge Gurgel & Aaron Riley won Fight of the Night with the only one on the whole card to go the distance.

All of the pre-fight interviews are shown on the big screens as they're shown on the PPV telecast. When a fight from the prelims is shown on the broadcast it is not shown in the arena (that's why you should go to the prelims).

The seats my buddy & I had were on the lower level of the arena, seventeen rows off the floor. Mike (my buddy who lives in Vegas and goes to three or four live events a year) said these seats were better than sitting at the back end of the floor sections (cuz it's easier to look down into or through the cage from the lower tiers than looking up from the floor). Of course if you can get tickets in the first few rows at ringside that would be ideal, but I don't have the resources to plunk down $2K a seat. $500/seat for where we were, though, was well worth it. You will be watching the screens quite a bit though - necessary to see the details you'd miss trying to watch everything raw.

Go Vladdy!
I'm hoping to see my boy Vlad Matyushenko do his thing this Saturday.

I was hoping to get tickets to the Honda Center, but it's too damn expensive - $100 + for the nosebleed seats. Hope DISH has it on PPV.
