Should they break out the different mats (ex. UFC 200) more often?

[TJ177]

I feel like the pandemic and no crowds should be an opportunity to do something different. I didn't love the yellow at UFC 200 entirely, but it felt different.

With every fight these days at either Yas or Apex I think that they really could mix things up a bit.

An all-black mat? A blood-red one? If they are really concerned about the marketing signage they could get creative.

I think it would be fun. It gives a unique feel to the cards.

obviously some really strong colors like a bright green would be hard to look at for hours on end, but it’s a fun way to mix it up as long as their conscious about how it’ll look.

They should bury the UFC 200 mat and never do a yellow mat again


I watched Rocky last night and the mat was the 13 colonies US flag (blue part)

definitely could do some cool things with varying the mat, but since it will be covered in sponsors it will often probably look corny

 

[Guy LeDouche]

I’m down! But please not that one they used for 200, that yellow was painful to look at.

 

[TJ177]

At the very very very least they need to use a different color for DWCS. It is specifically supposed to be a different brand. Give me the old WEC blue or something.

Giving DWCS a different color also will spruce up the pre-fight highlights for the prelim guys. Cmon Dana make it happen.

I wouldn't mind them just using plain white instead of that light grey color.

Honestly the entire UFC production could use some character here and there. It was cool to see Izzy come out and do small things here and there in his entrance. Reebok-deal completely fucked that stuff up. How on earth do you need to have something like a hat verified by Reebok before coming out?

I legit expected the Fight Island Octagon to have at least a different ground colour like UFC 200. I'm not saying make this WWE with pyros and shit, but use lasers, dryice (229) all that good stuff from time to time.

Just a hint. It's not "ex.", but "e.g." in English. E.g. stands for exempli gratia in Latin, which means “for example.”

You couldn't have the 13 Colonies U.S. Flag on the mat today. Somebody would claim to be offended. Yesterday I went to Target and there was a group outside boycotting Lucky Charms saying it was offensive to Irish people.

Yeah.

I personally have been completely desensitized to the point where people getting offended makes me happy, but sadly the world seems to care what Whiney SJWs cry about.

Sad state of the world these days.

Now that the smaller divisions are getting the attention they deserve, bring back the WEC mats. (And the small cage, tho i think the apex cage is the same size)

Which target? I wanna go there and eat Lucky Charms with some Aunt Jemima syrup on it

 

[2004 account]

Only colors that really work as mat colors imo are white and light blue.

Ufc 200 looked like garbage because of the yellow mat.

I think it'd be cool if they did stuff like a blue mat on the anniversary of the end of the WEC or red for Strikeforce, to pay homage to those orgs maybe once a year.

I want diamond encrusted mats when ever the Mcgregor show is in town, it will also help with grip
