Theo Von replaced as country singer sits front row for first UFC 319 prelim

Seats fill up for the largest fight of the year at UFC 319.

The middleweight championship is at stake between UFC champion Drus Du Plessis and the unbeaten Khamzat Chimaev in the Five Round Main Event.

Du plessis vs. Chimaev heads a map of 12 fights that takes place from the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.

Many thought that Theo von Casede would be for UFC 319, because it usually arrives early in UFC events. However, the comedian was nowhere to be seen and another celebrity took his place in 'The Windy City'.

Country Singer Zac Brown records Theo von at UFC 319

The first fight of the Night was the flightweight tournament -final of 'The Ultimate Fighter 33' between Joseph Morales and Alibi Idiris.

Famous country singer Zac Brown arrived for the early prelims, sitting in the front row, while most seats around him were empty.

“What about Zac Brown in the building for Fight One,” said commentator Jon Anik.

“Follow the Theo von approach,” Joe Rogan added.

“Theo beats the broadcasting team here every time,” Anik replied.

“He comes with me,” said Rogan.

Brown has previously attended UFC events, such as the Milestone UFC 300 and UFC 309 last November.

Theo von does not understand why people don't appear on UFC early

The arenas for most UFC events do not fill up later in the prelims or the main map.

That of course depends on the name value behind the map, because UFC 300 had the vast majority of fans who was present from the first fight between former Cody Garbrandt and DeiveSon Figueiredo champions.

Theo von has become viral because he arrives early at UFC events. He is often the only celebrity that looks from the first pair of rows.

Von recently spoke about this on Bussin 'with the boys.

“This is the thing. You could view a few F – – Muppets in your apartment complex F – each other about what detergent and s hits -” Von said.

“Or you could go here early and see two boys who have chased their dreams – – live their action.

“It's crazy for me that people don't go early,” Von added.
