    Default UFC in Downtown Detroit

    You guys are always a great help so I figured I would give this a shot.

    I am going to be downtown for the Lions pre-season game the 28th. We like to make a day of it before and after eating,drinking,etc. The problem is, we are all huge UFC fans but I am not aware of any places downtown that show the fights.

    My question is, does anyone know of anywhere downtown that shows the UFC fights [[PPV)? I will call around but I'm hoping someone knows here, there are plenty of spots in Metro Detroit but I'm not aware of any downtown.

    Thanks everyone!

    I'm not sure but possibly the Greektown Casino? Maybe one of their bars or lounges will have the fight on their big screen TVs? And if not Greektown, maybe one of the other casinos?

    Just a thought.

    Thanks for the suggestion, I will contact both, I forgot about coaches corner.

    I'm just hoping someone knows of somewhere down there for sure. It's a shame it's so hard to find.

    Ill let you in on a super secret site that gives you this info. Keep it on the DL bc its top secret........................http://www.ufc.com

    They have this super secret link called "where to watch" that tells you all places that show the ppv. Most "huge UFC fans" know this though

    Yeah, thanks for your awesome information BUT there is nothing Downtown on there. Bars show them without showing up on that site, so not much help there.

    You really are "That Guy"

    Hate to steer you out of town but I'm guessing Casino Windsor may have it at the sports book.

    Yeah I thought about that to, unfortunately I don't have a passport. If only we had sports betting here haha

    I'm just hoping someone knows of a place that shows it, not all of the places show up on the UFC site or on the many other lists that I am aware of.

    Rob Parker's Play by Play should be showing the fight.

    There's over a dozen bars in downtown Windsor that show UFC. No problem finding a place.

    I used to do Piracy Survalence for the UFC, here is the legal list of bars in Michigan that paid for the UFC fight.

    I think there was 1 place on Grand River that shows the fight legally on a consistant basis in Detroit. Any other places not on this list are generally illegal.

    But you do need that bulky and ever so cumbersome passport to re-enter the USA.

    The only downside to this place is that Rob Parker might make an appearance. Ewww.

    Claude,

    is the list different than the one on the UFC Site? You don't happen to remember the bar on grand river do you?

    Thanks

    Not if you have the enhanced driver's license. http://www.michigan.gov/sos/0,1607,7...104--F,00.html

    It doesn't look "bulky" and "cumbersome".

    I unfortunately do not have the Passport or the advanced license, I could get one but I doubt the 3 other people with me would care to do so.
