Where is a bar, cafe, etc that shows pay-per-view UFC fights in Taichung, Taiwan?
I'm in Taichung, Taiwan. One of the three biggest cities in Taiwan.
There's lots of expats, but mostly from other Asian countries from what I've seen.
Normally I would look for a sports bar on Google Maps or just Google the question and find somebody has already asked or already created a list of places for a given city.
But in this case my Google-fu is failing. Google Maps is only throwing up red herrings. Places which are already closed or look nothing like sports bars when you go to street view.
Can somebody do a better search using Chinese, or does somebody have the local knowledge?

@pnuts: No it doesn't. That would probably depend mostly on the timezone difference. What would matter most to me is if it has a cover charge or if their drinks are overpriced (-;

Well just after I posted this, pnuts indirectly helped me find a venue!
A place called "The Uptowner" is advertising the even on their Facebook page:

They mention having to book a seat, which I'm not keen on. Plus I can't tell if it might be pricey.
So I'm still open to alternative places, but at least I've found one. Thanks pnuts!
well, given that they have to pay per visitor, having to book a seat seems a logical consequence...

@jwenting: Hmm I haven't had to book before in Australia or Vietnam. I have no idea how the places have to pay. I've just turned up and purchased a beverage and found a place to sit.
