We are thinking of having some friends over to watch the UFC pay per view event next Saturday, and we don't know if this is acceptable for us to partake in as devoted Christians? Any thoughts?

I see nothing wrong with viewing a martial arts event. The participants do so voluntarily. They are not held there against their will, are they?
Enjoy.

UFC is very organized, isn't about kussing, yelling, and screaming like the WWF or w/e its called now.
It shows skills, encourages good sportsmanship, and puts two men who have trained their wits out against one another in their specialties. I think there's a lot we can take from it rather than the pure entertainment.
I see nothing wrong. Then again there will be 100 opinions... Search your own heart out on this one. If you do feel the Lord encouragement NOT to attend then... dont attend. Otherwise if there is no doubts about going then go and enjoy!
God Bless.

Just doing the best I can.
In my opinion, things like this come down to where your heart's at, and what your motives are. Do you want to watch things like UFC because you enjoy seeing the skill involved, or is it because you simply like seeing people get their butts kicked? If it's the latter, it's probably not a very Christian attitude, but otherwise, I don't see a problem with it.
Personally, I don't like things like UFC, but I would never judge someone who does.
Ultimately, remember, we have freedom in Christ. And also, all things are permissible but not necessarily beneficial.
It's between you and God what you decide about this. To reiterate basically what LogosRhema said, I think that if you feel convicted on it, it's good to question why and to consider abstaining, but if you decide to go for it, do so without guilt.

No problem for Christians to watch it or even participate in it. It is a sport & actually a better regulated (medically) one than plain ole boxing. Some of the fighters are Christians.
