And does it interfere with the view for the spectators in the arena. I have seen phone and camcorder footage taken at UFC events and it looked difficult to see the action with all of the padding and cameramen in the way.

to dramatize the event.
Originally it was for the sensation of the experience. However, the cage has proved to be better for fighter safety, because there have been a few occasions where fighters have fallen out of ring ropes. In fact, at least one boxer in Hawaii died that way. From a martial arts/self-defense standpoint, the cage more accurately simulates a wall or other “street” surface as opposed to a ring.
Probably to keep the audience away or something so they don’t interfere with the fighting going on.
most obvious answer is to make shure that no one gets slammed out of a ring in a WWE fashion,
and the cage is a slight obstruction, but with my experience, its actually less of a distraction then the ropes,
ropes are much thicker, yours eyes will actually work together and help you see through the cage
looks so on tv because your seeing the cage at an angle.
hope this helps
the cage actually keep the fight going when their up against it, when in a ring which i mostly fight in you end up losing an advantage sometimes when you or your opponent get caught up in the ropes. and yes it is a pain in the rear to see a live fight in a octagon especially when the fighters are on the ground.
Fights in rings tend to have a lot of stoppages because the fighters get caught in the ropes or go outside the ropes. This is less an issue in a cage. Also, using a cage takes away corners where fighters can tend to get stuck. It provides more routes for escape for fighters. It also allows from a clinch game against the cage, which is not really possible in a ring.
i thought plexi glass was a better option years ago as long as they can avoid glare from lighting, it would be perfect
