I would love to see a UFC event held in one of these... ;) 
That would be loads better than the rings mma uses.
All the stoppages and resets and falling out of the ropes that went on in pride. I Just dont see how people like the ring better.

I feel that the ring should be kept for Pride and that the new management should not completely try to enforce their dominance on the organization. It will only cause loss of viewers who were loyal to Pride's old ways in the ring. As for the cage it is fine for the UFC because that is what it has used since the beginning.

I'd like to see the ring every now and then. To me it's just more appealing to the general fan. Don't ask me why it just seems like people think it's crazier when two men are locked in a cage to fight. That and i've always love the room the ring seems to give for the more skilled fighters.

I much prefer the ring. The cage is good, yeah, but there are no corners, there is always somewhere for someone to run! Furthermore, matches can get a bit stale when two guys clinch against the cage and start the whole takedown/defense. I prefer it in Pride where a takedown has to be a bit more intelligent, rather than when a fighter has the option of pushing his opponent against the cage and scooping a leg out. Thats not to say that there aren't intelligent takedowns in the UFC, of course...

Pinned to stop repeat threads.
I prefer the cage.
1. People I know who prefer the ring always say it's better for viewing. Agreed , but if 20, 000 people are watching it live, and 10 million are watching it on TV , it seems an irrelevant argument to me. Majority rules the majority of the time.
2. No one gets caught in the ropes in a cage
3. No one falls or jumps out of the cage. Horodecki/Palaszewski a recent example
4. I like the Thunderdome aspect of the cage. Doors locked and no way out till the fights over. " 2 men enter , 1 man leave" the winner that is
but the ropes add another aspect to the fight cornering is much harder in a cage.
p.s. love the thunder dome refrence

The cage is fair to the sport, there is no reason to stop a fight unless for medical reason, i have always hated the ref recentering the fighters, plus the fighters dont have people going crazy slaping their hands or holding them upto keep them from fallin out of the ring.

I have to agree with the cage. I had no problem seeing the fight in the cage live either.

From people that I know personally, they usually prefer to fight in the cage > ring. Like you guys said, there are a lot less referee interferences and IMO it is a lot more exciting.
