Awesome experience with an even greater card.
First of all I'd like to say that watching UFC 11 in theaters felt like I was watching it live. It had great picture, great sound, and an awesome interactive audience. I recommend for others to, in the future, buy tickets for upcoming events. You will be entertained.
There were 5 main event fights that were showed, along with two undercard events(due to extra time). I was happy to be able to experience a full three hours worth of fights, as at first I thought we would be cut off to only the main card fights.
First fight was Miller vs Bocek.
It was a great fight, with Miller dominating the first round, and Bocek getting the second. The third round was really close, and the entire theater was cheering.

Jon Fitch vs Saunders has a slightly slower pace, with Fitch lay and praying Saunders to a UD victory. It wasn't the most impressive win, let's face it his last four fights haven't been, but it was still a win. He used an area that he is best at to win. I only wish Saunders fought back a bit more, at least made him work for the victory.
Kurt Pellegrino vs Camoes was an amazing fight. I had this predicted to go to a decision, but both fighters were eager to get a finish. Camoes had him hurt in the first round and put on a tight submission, but Pellegrino fought his way out, and even submitted the black belt brazilian jiu jutsu fighter with a rear naked choke in the second round. Awesome performance by Kurt again. Submission of the night, and his best performance to date.
Then we saw Pallhares Submit his opponent in less than a minute after a slip, but because of him not letting the choke go for 5 seconds, and hurting his opponent, he has been suspended for 90 days.
Carwin vs Mir was quick and fast paced, just like all off Carwin's previous fights. A lot of people were writing Carwin off, because they've seen Mir demolish heavy strikers before no problem with his jiu jutsu. The problem was Carwin is a great wrestler, and has submissions under his belt. He knew what he was getting in, and he knew he had to finish fast. Also, Mir has been trusting his standing game way too much recently. Well he payed for it on Saturday with a TKO in the first round by Carwin. Carwin landed some amazing uppercuts in the clinch against the cage, and destroyed Mir.
The St Pierre vs Hardy fight was exactly how I thought it would go, except for GSP not being able to finish Hardy, and instead pulling out a Unanimous Decision. But do not think it was a boring fight. The entire fight people were on their toes. Hardy was dominated each minute of every round, but every time GSP had Hardy hurt, and you thought Hardy would give-in he proved the crowd wrong, and last through. The big different between GSP's and Fitch's wrestling, is that GSP is a lot more active in his ground game with ground and pound, and submission attempts in every single round. He's always working. He's changing positions, he's pounding on his opponent, and he's trying to pull submissions. At two times in the fight GSP had really tight submissions on Hardy, but Hardy refused to tap. There was an armbar and a kimura, that I thought would rip Hardy's arm off. Great endurance by the kid, and great performance by GSP,
After the title fight we got to see a last undercard fight between Hamman and Wallace. I really enjoyed the fight. Wallace kept landing huge bombs on Hamman throughout the fight, but the kid took them, and looked unharmed, as he kept getting better positions in Wallace's takedowns, and constantly working with elbows, and punches. Exciting and fun fight to watch.
Overall and awesome card, and I cannot wait to see another UFC in theatres.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
