If you sit on the floor level, you cannot see ground action, so you end up looking on the screens.
If you sit on upper levels, you probably can see everything, but from one angle (so probably will look at the screens every now and then). But you're further away from action, ie I doubt you'd hear the sound a punch or kick makes.
I found myself looking at screens often, because camera follows the action from the top and that way at least you can see everything that happens.
The seating is extremely annoying. Unless you have ringside seats, it's not worth it. On the floor level, you are not exactly ringside, but you are sort of in a flat area making it hard to see. Furthermore, seats in the upper levels are bad as well, as you mentioned. The key is to buy seats in between, in the mid section. They usually always have a seating chart on display either at UFC.tv, or ticketmaster or I don't know where else you might get them from, and you can see where you might want to get seats. I have been to a UFC in the MGM Grand, during which I had reasonable seats where I could see the action, and another time, it was at UNLV, and during that show, I had the best seats. It was just a little above floor level so I saw everything in the octagon.

Another thing, while it might be fun to hear people cheer etc .... but, as you know, American audience is way too noisy. Everybody thinks they are expert and keep yelling "stomp" or "kick" etc . ...or "that's not how you do a kimura!".... I think it is rather disrespectful towards the fighter to yell stupid directions. People are coming to the event, thinking it is a street brawl.
American fans are the biggest pieces of crap alive. If you have watched Pride Fighting, and the Japanese fans, they are the best. They literally stay quiet during the entire match. American fans usually comprise of the beer drinking non-intelligent white trash element who fill the halls. Japanese people in general are more well educated and intelligent than your average American fan, and they actually understand the sport as opposed to just bar room brawling.

All in all, I would probably go again, if there is a fighter I like to see, for example, Karo.
They also announced that on Feb 4th, 2006, there will be a Randy vs Chuck rematch. And also that the Ultimate Fighter 3 coaches are: Ken Shamrock & Tito Ortiz
Yea, there are potential matches in the future here, such as Chuck and Randy, Ken Shamrock and Tito Ortiz, BJ Penn and Matt Hughes, BJ Penn and George St. Pierre, or St. Pierre and Matt Hughes, so it's an interesting mix here. Karo will be back soon, but the welterweight division has raised it's stakes so he needs to train double and like I said previously, he needs to improve on stand up and strength training.
